Selects files according to the BACKUP date written in the file header record by the BACKUP/RECORD command. Use this qualifier with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier, either of which provides the system time value BACKUP uses to determine whether to process a file. When you use /BACKUP with /BEFORE, files with a BACKUP date prior to the specified date or time are selected. Files with no BACKUP date (that is, /RECORD was not specified when the file was saved or copied) are also selected. When you use /BACKUP with /SINCE, files with a BACKUP date equal to or later than the specified date or time are selected. Files with no BACKUP date (that is, /RECORD was not specified when the file was saved or copied) are not selected. Use the /BACKUP file-selection qualifier only with Files-11 Structure Levels 2 and 5 volumes. You cannot use /BACKUP with the /CREATED, /MODIFIED, or /EXPIRED qualifiers in an image operation or in a physical operation.
