Good morning, Fiona; how are you ?
Never tried to simulate a Disaster Recovery ?
Here in Fiditalia we normally save LF too; because a rebuild would take few
days.....
You may also have in mind that not all LF are importants: less important one
(those who were 'sort' jobs on mainframe) have *REBLD and are not saved.
Let me know what exactly you want get with your D/R strategy.
Ear you soon.

Sincerely

Domenico Finucci

We backup changes , without the access paths during the week, & do a full
SAVLIB *ALLUSR at weekends with access paths.
Should the nightly save changes job save access paths just like the weekly
full saves ?

We've been using this strategy to minimise tape & offline batch-window
usage for 5 years, but I'm wondering if this is wrong for effective
disaster-recovery, when it slows down to rebuild them. Our application
files rarely change, only the pgms get upgraded weekly. Does anyone have an
opinion on the pros & cons of this ?

Fiona
