    Hi Mildred, that's a good news ! just want to know if at the end of a export, the database and the config of the TS77 is copied at the end of the tape, like it is done under z/OS ?


    Thanks

    This appendix describes how to use the COPY_EXPORT support with the Removable Media Service (RMS) component of DFSMS/VM. APAR VM65789 provides support within the Removable Media Services (RMS) component of DFSMS/VM for the IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 Copy Export functionality. COPY_EXPORT allows a copy of selected logical volumes written to the TS7700 to be removed and taken offsite for disaster recovery purposes. The benefits of volume stacking, which places many logical volumes on a physical volume, are retained with this function. In addition, since the data being exported is a copy of the logical volume, the logical volume data remains accessible by the production host systems.
