The only time I used SAVSTG seriously was when I managed a LAB box. after upgrades, ptf's etc, i would run a savstg. If you needed the lab box, i would give you QSECOFR and turn it over to you. When I got it back, I scratched everything back to the SAVSTG. So, I have never tried RSTSTG to another box. I gather a SAVSTG is more like a DISK IMAGE. -- bit processing. I think this is where the hardware differences come in. I think the new disks need to be the same number and at least the same capacity as the saved machine. So, I think it may be quicker to run, definitely easier to scratch a box "back to" that image. but, imho, not a serious contender for daily / weekly saves. I would rather see a Opt 21 with Save-Changes in between until you can do another full backup before I would recommend a SAVSTG. kmh At 09:39 AM 4/25/2001, you wrote: >I have never given SAVSTG serious consideration.
