Peter, thanks for the answer.

Sorry, my mistake, I meant SIM-390 instead of H-390.
I'll try your suggestions.
I was trying to backup my work files kept in an user directory (for instance /carlos/PLI/test1) I copy them with ftp, zip them and file them in the windows environment. Even for simplicity I edit in the windows host with an editor with ftp capabilities and store them in the "mainframe".
About the tape I'm not so sure, since the last time I used a tape, was under CMS, where I created a dump file, in tape format in my minidisk, and send this file to the operator to be processed, or put in a real tape. As I have read you can "punch" your backup into some virtual environment like AWS,XMI.
Sorry if my questions sound naive, by the last time I use a real s/370 was 1985, so my memory is lost, the manual's long time gone, even the IBM head office and it's servers in Buenos moved long time ago, so I need to relearn this stuff.

BTW, there's a railway station and a neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, named Coghlan, after the irish railway engineer John Coghlan?
