Info on IBM's BACKUP menu

["Roger Vicker, CCP" <rvicker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Since it has been reported that IBM is moving away from supporting
their BACKUP menu for un-attended backups (and it appears to not get
the IFS anyway) as reported here, is the source retrievable or
detailed somewhere like some of the others? If it is then we could
take this tool and make it user supported code by adding the missing
things like the IFS. While it doesn't have the great features of a
package, like media tracking, it does what a lot of small shops need
(except IFS...) un-attended off hours backup.

I remember seeing the note about IBM trying to move everyone to the
SAVE menu but not their reason for leaving the BACKUP menu's
un-attended feature.

Thanks,

Roger Vicker, CCP
