Termination or restart of BACKUP SYSTEM

You can terminate BACKUP SYSTEM by using the TERM UTILITY command. BACKUP SYSTEM checks for the TERM UTILITY command before the call to copy data. TERM UTILITY deletes the copy that is being created through the BACKUP SYSTEM utility.

To use TERM UTILITY to terminate BACKUP SYSTEM on a data sharing group, you must issue the command from the member on which the BACKUP SYSTEM utility is invoked.

You can restart a BACKUP SYSTEM utility job, but it starts from the beginning again.
