Duplicating optical volumes

 

This topic explains how to create a backup of an optical volume. An efficient method to create a backup of an optical volume is to use the Duplicate Optical (DUPOPT) command. This command performs sector copies to create a volume that is identical to the source except for the volume identifier and creation date and time. You can enter the information for the following fields on the Duplicate Optical display:

• From volume identifier

• To volume identifier

• Volume identifier

• Clear

The DUPOPT command applies to the volumes in directly attached optical media library devices and DVD devices.
