Can anyone advise as to what is the best way to backup messages on a Z/OS sysplex for restore capabilities. We have 8 qmgrs not in a queue sharing group and require backup of two production days for each queue.



Please Advise

There is a whole section on backing up MQ on z/OS in the z/OS specific manuals. Have you checked those out?

Alternativly, you could move the messages to another queue on another queue manager on another machine.

You can use the COPY/SCOPY function to copy the messages to a liniar VSAM file. But you will need to LOAD them back to a queue to get at them... Why not write the messages with a expiry time to a .BK queue then auto expire them with the auto expiry feature in 5.3. However that would be an offline use of MQ which is quite common in the z/OS world. Have fun.
