Hi Dave,
You can copy Backup Policies (a.k.a. Backup Control Groups in the green
screen world). BUT, the attributes are not copied over.
Before you do anything, SAVLIB QUSRBRM.
Below are two sections from one of the BRMS Redbooks:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp0508.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------
See Page 22:
1. Create a control group without entries or attributes on the target
system. Only enter text in the text field.
2. Copy the QUSRBRM/QA1ACG file on the donor system and copy it to a
temporary library. Use the following command:
CPYF FROMFILE(QUSRBRM/QA1ACG) TOFILE(temporary library/QA1ACG)+
CRTFILE(*YES) MBROPT(*ADD) INCCHAR(CTLLST 1 *EQ <control group name>)
3. Move the temporary library to the target system.
4. Copy the information from the temporary library into BRMS/400 on the
target system. Use the following command:
CPYF FROMFILE(temporary library/QA1ACG) TOFILE(QUSRBRM/QA1ACG)+
MBROPT(*ADD) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)
5. Update control group attributes, if needed
---------------------------------------------------------------
And on Page 24:
3. Check control groups for valid entries and attributes:
? Subsystems to process
? Omit lists
? Sign off exceptions
? IPL actions
? Media policies
? Devices used
---------------------------------------------------------------
Places I use when looking for BRMS information:
If you or anyone in your company ever took the IBM BRMS course, there is a
section on Networking, which has some good information there.
Also, you can check IBM's website at:
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/service/brms/support.html
Hope this helps.

I would like to transfer backup policies from one system to another.
Where in the BRMS library is that information stored?
Thanks in advance.
