AS/400 Backup questions (was: Probably very easy, Newbie question)

Scott and all,

This information is invaluable and I can't thank you and all the others
enough for the time you have taken out of your busy days to help.  Please
know that I did RTM but just too green to do a decent job.  With what you
have provided, it gives me enough of a footing that I can move forward.

For now, I am getting an error on the password for QSECOFR when trying to
sign on to the console (System tools).  So I will do some digging to figure
this one out, and press forward.  In the meantime, it appears there is some
simple customization that needs to be done.  All of your suggestions have
been filed for immediate reference.  Who would have ever thought such a
simple question would have generated so much discussion?

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

Jill

Jill,

    In order to run SAVE 21, you have to be at the system console.  The
reason for this is that the operating system will be backed up, and you
can't get a reliable backup while certain processes are running, since
they're constantly changing things in memory.The idea here is that
everything
non-essential to the backup is shut down.
