Suppose the auxiliary storage pool group is configured for use in a clustered environment where the group is automatically switched to an alternate system by the cluster management software when it detects the primary system is no longer operational. It may be useful in this environment to set up a backup strategy consisting of two backup control groups, one to back up the base system, and one to back up the switchable auxiliary storage pool group. The following screen shows the backup control group entries that would be used on primary and alternate systems to save only the objects on the system and basic user auxiliary storage pools. The *SYSBAS special value used for the Auxiliary Storage Pool Device parameter of the backup items restricts the scope of the saves to the system and basic user auxiliary storage pools. The exception to this is the *SAVSYS backup item which saves the private authorities for all objects on all available auxiliary storage pool devices.
