Creates a disk-to-disk backup copy of the files of all selected regions. DATABASE backup copy is a ready-to-use a GT.M database unlike BYTESREAM backup which is required to be restored to a random access file.
![[Note]](images/note.jpg) | |
The DATABASE qualifier does not support backup to magnetic tape. |
The format of the DATABASE qualifier is:
-D[ATABASE]
By default, MUPIP BACKUP uses -DATABASE.
The DATABASE qualifier is only compatible with the -[NO]NEW[JNLFILES], -ONLINE, and -RECORD qualifiers.
-COMPREHENSIVE is depreciated in favor of -DATABASE. For upward compatibility, MUPIP temporarily continues to support the deprecated -COMPREHENSIVE.
