I don't understand why anyone would _not_ want to do that? What am I missing? I am planning to do the following on a daily basis: 1) At 4am an unattended backup takes place of *SAVSECDTA, *SAVCFG, *IBM, *ALLUSR, *ALLDLO, *LINK (On Tuesday & Friday a *SAVSYS will be thrown in too, and those 2 are duplicated for offsite storage at 2 separate locations.) 2) At 1:30 pm an incremental save while active backup takes place of *ALLUSR 3) About 7pm (will vary slightly by day) another incremental save while active backup takes place of *ALLUSR All of the above will easily fit on a single tape so that is how I want it. Each day of the week will use it's own tape. The following week I want to use the same set of tapes. (At month end I will duplicate the last-Friday-of-the-month tape and take offsite to keep for 12 months, but that's another issue.) > The immediate solution that comes to mind is > to put each > tape in it's own media pool and schedule the Monday pool for > Monday, The > Tuesday pool for Tue. etc. This will get to be a big > repeated process, > but it would allow you to use the same tape each week. I don't see where, in the backup control group or the STRBKUBRM command where I can tell it a media pool. So how does that help? -- Jeff Crosby Dilgard Frozen Foods, Inc. P.O. Box 13369 Ft.
