allow mqsibackupbroker to back up other folders and files in integration node work directory

our shop supports IIB 10 and 10.1 on both distributed and mainframe platforms, the current mqsibackupbroker command only backs up a few main folders in the integration node work directory, for instance, components, and registry, but excludes files such as ENVFILEs for the integration node and all integration servers which are a crucial part of our backup. other than that we also have ITX\WTX directory for IBM FTM and keystore files in the work directory. we hope mqsibackupbroker can provide an option to allow us to do a full backup of the whole work directory.

thank you.

    Thank you for taking the time to raise this idea, and apologies for the length of time before replying. The ACE architecture has moved on a bit in this functional area since the versions of the product referenced in the request. In ACE12 we are more focussed on the contents of a specific integration node as opposed to a generalised single backup of data spanning multiple nodes. Within this scope, it would make sense for us to back up files which are configuration related to the integration node in question. Using this as a yardstick to measure the items referred to in the request, the example of keystore files would be valid ... but the whole of the workpath (not the work directoru of a specific node) would not. We add these comments to qualify the likely usecases and areas of interest to us at the point that this should become a business priority for us. For now the status of the request is updated to Future Consideration.
