Enhancement to Backup
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2022 10:35 am
I wasn't sure where to put this, so here it is...
A recent topic in comp.os.vms centered around inquiring info about a backup saveset. The only way to see this is to utilize BACKUP/LIST which will read the entire saveset. Is there any chance that a BACKUP/INFO option could be added to display the saveset information without the need to read the entire saveset? It would appear that this information resides in the first block or two. I know that I have had to examine savesets in the past and this would make things much quicker/easier. I suspect that this would also be trivial to implement.
Thoughts?
