•To initialize take ops 10 on main menu and then take ops 1.disply tape info

•When you give ops 1 we can see the tape name and whether it is in mounted state or not.

•If not in mounted state we need to initialize the tape by taking ops2.intialize the tape.

•To go back previous screen take F3 and to main menu take F12.     

                         

                   STEPS FOR BACK UP USING BRMS

•To do back up we need to make the sub system in to restricted state.

•Then we should connect to BRMS through console.(follow console steps)

• Then give cmd GO BRMS and take ops 20. Now backup will start.

•To check the tapes that are used by brms for back up give cmd WRKMEDBRM.

•To check log of brms give cmd DSPLOGBRM.

 Thus we can perform backup of a system using BRMS
