Guidelines



You must be a super-group user to use the ALTER CONFIG.



You can override these configuration options, except BRJOBSVOLUME, when you

specify a BACKUP or RESTORE command.



Be careful while altering the SERVICEPRI number parameter. Setting the value of

the SERVICEPRI number parameter higher than DMA priority may result in

unpredictable behavior.



For more information about setting the configuration options,

see Managing Configuration Information on page 3-1.

Example

BR> ALTER CONFIG , WORKVOLUME $RIO, BRJOBSVOLUME $CARNAVAL ;

BR> ALTER CONFIG , SERVICECPULIST ;

BR> ALTER CONFIG , SERVICECPULIST, EMSCOLLECTOR $MYLOG ;

BACKCOPY Command

The BACKCOPY command copies backup image data from one tape set to another.

This command copies only one tape file from a tape volume. The tape devices used

need not be of the same type. For example, the source tape can be specified as a

device name and the destination tape can be specified as a DEFINE name. Similarly, if

two DEFINE names are specified, they need not have the same CLASS, GEN,

VERSION, and FILECAT. The tapedrive types or media types need not be identical.

source-tape

is the tape device from which the image data is copied. You can specify the name

of a tapedrive, the logical device number of a tape drive, or a define name:



[\node.]$device



[\node.]$ldev



define-name

Note. The BACKCOPY command is supported only on systems running H06.06 or later

H-series RVUs.
