HSMS enables the duplication (copying) of backup files both within an archive and from one archive to another. The right to duplicate save files is restricted to the owner of the archive involved and the HSMS administrator. The copied save file and the BS2000 files, job variables, node files and save versions it contains are entered in the archive directory.
The duplicate function can be used for the following tasks:
Task | DMS files | Node files |
Moving save files from disk to tape | X | X |
Duplicating save files as a precaution against loss of data | X | X |
Reducing the number of volumes by combining save files (see example in "Examples") | X | X |
Reshuffling volumes within long-term archives | X | X |
Reorganizing a migration archive | X | – |
X | The task is supported. |
– | The task is not supported. |
