The output can be a disk file using device class of FILE


I am not sure what SMS manage??

>>can I say, FTP it to another platform,
i.e. my PC ? so that anyone could restore from it, using the client ?

The following is not addressing your question. but good to know.



Beware that  when restore local backupset from any devices  , TSM client
will check or verify node password  , Anyone can steal your backupset and
restore to his machine using TSM client.

 To prevent backupset restore to another machine, use TSM encryption to
protect your files when backup to TSM server. Then generate the backupset .
The file will still be encrypted in your backupset.

Subject:    BACKUPSETS on TSM OS/390



Has anyone used BACKUPSETS on the OS/390 platform ?

Can the output be a disk file (i.e. can I create a DEVICE CLASS of FILE
and let SMS manage the files being created ?)

Once I create the BACKUPSET file, can I say, FTP it to another platform,
i.e. my PC ? so that anyone could restore from it, using the client ?
