Configuring Backup and Restore 2
This section describes managing Backup and Restore 2.
Managing Configuration Information
BRCONFIG contains the configuration information for the DMA, the Data Service, and
the Tape Service. BRCOM uses the BRJOBS volume configured in the BRCONFIG file
for all jobs. You can override any of the other values when you specify a BACKUP or
RESTORE command. To view the currently configured values in the BRCONFIG file or
for a specific job, see Displaying Configuration Information on page 3-1
When Backup and Restore 2 is first installed, the configuration options in the
BRCONFIG file are as listed in Table 3-1. BRCONFIG is a text file, but you must not
edit it directly. To change the values in the BRCONFIG file, you must be a super-group
user and use the ALTER CONFIG command. For more information:

Displaying Configuration Information
Use the INFO command to display the configuration information in the BRCONFIG file
and for each job.
