3. The From volume identifier parameter works in conjunction with the Input volume list parameter to identify the volumes to be duplicated.
   • To duplicate a single volume, even if it is a member of a set, specify *LIST for the From volume identifier prompt, and the volume to be duplicated for the Input volume list prompt.
   • To duplicate a volume set, specify a volume identifier of any volume in the set for the From volume identifier prompt, and either *SET or *VOL for the Input volume list prompt.
     Note:

     You must use this method when duplicating the volumes of a media set in a batch job.
     Alternatively, you can type the name of any volume in the media set in the From volume identifier parameter, and then press Enter. BRMS will find all other volumes in the set and list these in the Input volume list parameter.
   • To duplicate a list of volumes, specify *LIST for the From volume identifier prompt, and the volumes to be duplicated for the Input volume list prompt. You can use the + field to provide the additional fields in which to list the volumes you want BRMS to duplicate.
   • To duplicate all volumes marked for duplication, specify *SEARCH for the From volume identifier prompt, and either *SET or *VOL for the Input volume list prompt.
4. In the From device field, specify the name of the device from which BRMS will make the duplicate. This device contains the original volume.
5. In the To device field, specify the name of the device that contains the volume that will receive the duplicated information.
6. Review the other parameters carefully and change as needed.
   Note:

   The From sequence number and To sequence number fields are ignored for optical media.
7. Press Enter to process the command.
