Re: Pros / Cons of using Mapics Schedule Unattended Backup Option.

Absolutely phenomenal.  Works terrific.  You can totally automate the
MAPICS backup process.   Backups now run in 20 minutes for me, then I dump
them to tape with a CL, and my CL produces a tape identical to taking the
"Copy Disk Backup to Tape" option (and I can schedule it with the AS/400
Job Scheduler).

And the save to tape CL is extremely simple.  I also print a tape catalog
listing to satisfy the SARBOX auditors.  Change the tape device to your's,
change the NEWOWNID to whatever you want.

 PGM

 INZTAP     DEV(TAP04) NEWVOL(MSM001) NEWOWNID(FLTWOOD) +
              CHECK(*NO) /* Initialize tape */

 SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/SVDTAABCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
              ENDOPT(*LEAVE)

 SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/AMFBCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
              ENDOPT(*LEAVE) /* Save AMFLIB */

 SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/AMTBCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
              ENDOPT(*LEAVE) /* Save AMTLIB */

 SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/ZSVCTLBCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
              ENDOPT(*REWIND)

 DSPTAP     DEV(TAP04) OUTPUT(*PRINT) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) /* +
              Generate tape directory listing */

 ENDPGM

I would like to hear for user that have setup and are now using this Mapics
option. How did you like it, any problems setting it up, ease of use, etc.
Thanks,
William Moore
