Re: BRMS: FTPing virtual images to another system.

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can control that in the backup policy (which is what the entry you 
point out is doing) or stop it altogether with *NONE in that field at 
the control group.  (option 8, scroll down 1 page)   You can stop is 
globally (bad idea for recovery) by changing the back up policy.

To add what it does in the control group, use SAVMEDIBRM to back up 
QUSRBRM  and the balance of the recovery information at the end of the 
tape.

I highly suggest you manage that at the control group level rather than 
change the defaults.
