Other BACKUP options and capabilities were not discussed. The points that were made are:
BACKUP is the only comprehensive tool program available. It is used to both back up and restore files.
Several backup options are available, including image or full backup, cumulative incremental backup, and differential incremental backup.
When a backup is performed, the files are normally stored in a save set or container file.
BACKUP will also copy directory trees from disk to disk or from one directory on disk to another.
Shadow sets can be backed up and restored if the manager follows certain procedures.
