Standard management class

For data sets using the standard management class (STANDMC), the following actions occur:

The data sets are automatically backed up no more frequently than every three days.
Three versions of the data sets are retained while the data set exists.
One version of the data set is retained for 60 days after the data set is deleted.
Extra versions are retained for 20 days after they are created.
Any users can issue commands to back up data sets.
Automatic backup processing backs up the data sets.
Concurrent copy is not used.
