BRICONDISK Job Option
OFF
BRIC is written to the last tape of the Backup.
Guidelines

The BRICONFRESHTAPE job option is intended primarily for setups involving
Virtual Tape Server (VTS). Since BRIC will now be present on a fresh tape, staging
of tape with BRIC file from physical tape media to VTS cache during restore will be
faster. With this feature OFF, VTS will have to stage the last tape which will contain
the BRIC. The tape will also contain additional data from the last part of the Backup
image. Hence staging of the tape containing the BRIC will be slower due to the
additional data present in the virtual tape image.
BRICONDISK Job Option
This job option is applicable for backup, backcopy, and parallel backup only. This
option provides two values: ON and OFF. The default value is OFF. If the job option is
set to ON, Backup and Restore 2 retains the Backup Restore Intermediate Catalog
(BRIC) and BRCMD files on the disk.
ON
BRIC and BRCMD files are not purged from the disk.
OFF
BRIC and BRCMD files are purged from the disk.
Guidelines

The BRIC and BRCMD files are retained in the workvolume.jobid location. This
location information is displayed in the listing output of the backup job (only if the
LISTALL ON option is used).

Use the DIRECTORY job option to restore the data. To list the content, use the
LISTONLY job option.
Note. The BRICONFRESHTAPE job option is supported only on systems running J06.08 and
later J-series RVUs and H06.19 and later H-series RVUs.
BRICONDISK { ON | OFF }
Note. The BRICONDISK job option is supported only on systems running J06.10 and later J-
series RVUs and H06.21 and later H-series RVUs.
Note. This section does not provide guidelines about how the cleanup or delete job options
affect the BRIC and BRCMD files.
