Yes, you can cancel the process and restart it. The BACKUP STGPOOL command determines which data is not backed up yet and will back up only that data.
When you cancel the process, depending on how large of a file it is working on, it may take a little while for it to complete that file and stop.

I currently have about 100 3590E tapes that I need to initially duplicate and then plan on doing a backup storage pool everyday and send those tapes off site. It is my understanding that to start this whole process I need to do a backup storage pool which will copy all 100 tapes. My question is whether I can cancel that backup command and have it again restart where it left off. I need all my tape drives from 8:00pm to 8:00 am for backups and it will take much longer than the remaining 12 hours to duplicate that data. Thanks Rob Schroeder Famous Footwear
