The question is a bit generic...
do You want to copy a tape dataset to another tape dataset,
Or.. You want to duplicate a tape bit by bit ??? |

Why are you wanting to use FTP to copy a tape ? |

Look at IEBGENER in the utilities manual

Yes, as soon as I have the 500 Euro for consultancy services. |

You do not do this. The mainframe you are using already has multiple "copy" utilities installed.
For a simple copy, you could use IEBGENER (as mentioned above) or the SORT product. The sort will typically run faster than IEBGENER. |

Hi,
as Enrico already stated

what did You use to tacke the backup?

, depending on this is what utitily you use to copy the cart.
IEBGENER does not work too well in copying dfdss backups.

Hi,
I take back what I said earlier, I ran a DFDSS backup and copied it using IEBGENER and was able to restore the data from the copied version.

Exactly what I was going to say. I also use IEBGENER to produce 3rd copy ML2 tapes in HSM. |
