For node files, HSMS supports the backup types full backup and incremental backup, but not partial backups.
All users are authorized to perform these backups. System backups, however, are the prerogative of the HSMS administrator.
Nonprivileged users are restricted to saving and restoring their own node files residing on the local BS2000-UFS.
The HSMS administrator is authorized to process the node files of all users that reside on the local BS2000-UFS as well as those located on a remote file system.
Node files are saved using the HSMS statement BACKUP-NODE-FILES. Individual files can be selected via their names (using wildcards) and via the SELECTION-BOUNDARY operand. The backup may optionally be restricted to the explicitly specified files or, if saving a directory, include all its subdirectories and subordinated files in the file system or file tree (see section “Selection of node files of the BS2000-UFS”).
When node files are saved, the directory file cannot be saved at the same time in the same save run because the directory file is a BS2000 file and therefore has to be saved in a BS2000 save run.
