Where Are Backup Missions Defined?

You define backup missions online using the Control-D Mission Definition facility (Option M in the IOA Primary Option menu). The definitions are stored as members of a partitioned dataset (PDS) in the Control-D backup missions library. You use the Backup Mission Definition screen to define your parameters (see below):
