Backup using ARCHIVE

ARCHIVE recognizes a guards catalog and locks it against write access while it is being backed up in order to ensure a consistent status. Only read access is permitted during the backup operation.

A more selective backup can be achieved with GUARDS-SAVE.

If a guards catalog which was backed up with ARCHIVE needs to be restored, it must first be restored under the name SYSCAT.GUARDS.BAK and under user ID TSOS and then activated by means of the CHANGE-GUARD-FILE command.
