If you specify ARCHIVEBACKUP = ANY, then FILEDATA reports only those files that have archive backups. FILEDATA reports on files even if their backups do not match the resident file or even if there is not a resident file.

If you specify ARCHIVEBACKUP = NONE, then FILEDATA reports information only for those files that do not have archive backup copies listed in the directory.

If you specify ARCHIVEBACKUP = CURRENT, then FILEDATA reports information for nonresident files that have archive backup copies and resident files with generation and timestamp values that match the values of their archive backup copy.

If you specify ARCHIVEBACKUP = NONCURRENT, then FILEDATA reports only on resident files whose archive backup copies have a generation or timestamp value that does not match the values of the resident file.

The reports that FILEDATA produces for ARCHIVEBACKUP = NONCURRENT and ARCHIVEBACKUP = NONE together include all the files that would be copied by the WFL ARCHIVE INCREMENTAL statement.

These two FILEDATA reports would also include a few special files, such as BADDISK files, that would not be copied by ARCHIVE INCREMENTAL statements.

ARCHIVEBACKUP is invalid with the CONTAINER, TAPE, and WRAPPEDFILES modifiers.
