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.
