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

If you are not doing standard backup like GO SAVE 21 but some mixture
suggested by other folks on this list, some of the stuff you will need in
your list of steps:

ENDSBS SBS(*ALL) then F4

If in doubt, about all the stuff you need to mess with, an easy way to get
rid of everyone, although it takes you longer, before doing the ENDSBS

PWRDWNSYS F4
make it immediate & make it restart from the panel
this is a bit dangerous if you have not yet found your main system console

CHGMSGQ QSYSOPR F4 & make delivery *BREAK or *NOTIFY
have a discussion here with people advising you which is best
We also muck with SEVERITY setting

Then there are a bunch of SAV* commands (I gave a list in an earlier post)
but there's parameters associated with each, for example

SAVDEV('/QSYSLIB/TAP01/DEVD') OBJ('/') ... and it goes on & on with you have
to fill it out exactly just right

then when you all done
STRSBS SBSD( inside parentheses do QBATCH or QCTL or whatever is right for
your 400)

then put delivery mode on system error messages back the way it was
