A fix is available
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Since IZ77870 fixes the backup command to exit on packing errors, mksysb/savevg will stop in such case. This apar will add the -P flag to mksysb/savevg to allow administrator to use /etc/exclude_packing.<vgname> to exclude files from packing so that they are still archived but not packed to avoid packing errors on files updated during the backup.
Local fix
Use -e flag to exclude files from backup, but then these files are not archived with the backup Use -p flag not to use packing at all during the backup but then the resulting mksysb size will be larger.
Problem summary
backup: 0511-442 <file> will not be backed up 0512-003 mksysb may not have been able to archive some files. and the backup will stop without completing.
Problem conclusion
Since this involves errors with packed files a new option -P with an /etc/exclude_pack* file listing with files not too pack but will still be backed up.
Temporary fix
