Error description
With APAR IZ77870 installed, backbyname will stop with rc=1 if a packing error occurred. The Following error messages will be displayed : 0512-003 savevg may not have been able to archive some files backup: 0511-084 An internal packing error occurred: incorrect size backup: 0511-442 <file_path> will not be backed up. So the remaining files will not be backed up. But the mksysb script wiil set rc=0 in done_backup in that case.
Local fix
disable packing option of mksysb but then the mksysb size will be greater. exclude files using mksysb -e option and /etc/exclude.rootvg but then these files won't be archived.
