System backup archive

Backed up data is managed in backup archives. The HSMS administrator creates system backup archives for system backups of SF pubsets and SM pubsets. They are normally addressed via the symbolic name SYSBACKUP. It is the default backup archive to which the HSMS statement RESTORE-FILES refers unless another archive is specified.

The system backup archive must be created as a public archive with read access (operand USER-ACCESS=*ALL-USERS/ACCESS=*READ) in order to enable nonprivileged users to restore data from this archive.
