BACKCOPY System Utility


The BACKCOPY utility duplicates tape made in the file-mode format for archiving or any duplication reason. The BACKCOPY utility cannot make a copy of a tape backed up using the volume-mode format.

The Corporate Security Policy should detail procedures for physically securing tapes in a tape library.

RISK Tapes can contain sensitive data. Therefore, access to tapes must be controlled physically to ensure security. Copies should only be made by authorized personnel.

Securing BACKCOPY

BP-FILE-BACKCOPY-01 BACKCOPY should be secured "UUCU".

BP-OPSYS-LICENSE-01 BACKCOPY must be LICENSED.

BP-OPSYS-OWNER-01 BACKCOPY should be owned by SUPER.SUPER.

BP-OPSYS-FILELOC-01 BACKCOPY must reside in $SYSTEM.SYSnn.

If available, use Safeguard software or a third party object security product to grant access to BACKCOPY only to users who require access in order to perform their jobs.

BP-SAFE-BACKCOPY-01 Add a Safeguard Protection Record to grant appropriate access to the BACKCOPY object file.
