> - Is the BACKUP STGPOOL command a function of V2?
Backup Stgpool was introduced in ADSM V2.  It is not available in V1.

If you must remain at V1, Export Server would be an option.  There are other
possibilities such as storing your files on servers at two different locations.
V2 contains some significant enhancements in the disaster recovery area.  If
you need disaster recovery, you should consider upgrading your MVS server to
V2 as soon as possible.

Export Server is not incremental.  That is one of the benefits of Backup
Stgpool.

Once you migrate to the V2 server, you could continue to use Export Server,
but you probably would not want to.  You really should look into the disaster
recovery features provided with ADSM V2 and DRM, and consider using these
rather than remaining at V1.
