Yes, you can cancel the process and restart it.  

The BACKUP STGPOOL command determines which data is not backed up yet and will 
back up only that data.

When you cancel the process, depending on how large of a file it is working on, 
it may take a little while for it to complete that file and stop.

Subject: backup storge pool


I want to make off site copies of my storage pool for the obvious reasons.
I currently have about 100 3590E tapes that I need to initially duplicate
and then plan on doing a backup storage pool everyday and send those tapes
off site.  It is my understanding that to start this whole process I need
to do a backup storage pool which will copy all 100 tapes.  My question is
whether I can cancel that backup command and have it again restart where it
left off.  I need all my tape drives from 8:00pm to 8:00 am for backups and
it will take much longer than the remaining 12 hours to duplicate that
data.

Thanks
