RE: Automating Copy Disk Backup to Tape [SPAM : scl = 4]

Here is a copy of the CL we use. This is scheduled to run early morning.  This 
set/resets everything so no action is required
and mapics is ready for next dave to disk. You could also run this 
interactively from a memu option.
                                                    
 DSPPGMMSG  MSG('***AMSLIB SAVE STARTED')           
 CHGDTAARA  DTAARA(AMFLIB/ZSVCTL (8 1)) VALUE('T')  
 SAVLIB     LIB(AMSLIB) DEV(TAP02) ENDOPT(*LEAVE)   
 MONMSG     MSGID(CPF3794) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(TAPERR))
 CLRLIB     LIB(AMSLIB) /* */                       
 DSPPGMMSG  MSG('***MSM001 (AMSLIB) SAVE ENDED')    
        
TAPERR is a message break for the system operatior.

The disk backup-to-tape is not a dedicated function. That is one of the
advantages of running it to disk - it should take a lot less time and you do
not have to worry about a tape "failure" in the middle of the night.  If you
have any tape problems, you would be there to handle them.
