Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, for creating a backup copy of a deleted file based on a previous backup copy of the file to be deleted includes creating a deleted data set record associated with a file in association with deletion of the file, wherein the file comprises a file data set. The file data set is removed from a catalog containing the file data set. The method includes freeing physical space associated with the file data set and extracting the file from a most recent backup copy and writing the file to a temporary file in a pre-defined pool space. A file level backup copy is created of the temporary file based on the deleted data set record, and the temporary file and the deleted data set record are deleted.
