[gpfsug-discuss] mmbackup feature request

[Christian Petersson]

Just a follow up question, how do you backup multiple filesets?
We have a 50 filesets to backup, at the moment do we have a text file that
contains all of them and we run a for loop. But that is not at all
scalable.

Is it any other ways that are much better?
