RE: backup/restore

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't use BRMS, and the files that change on a daily basis are
mostly the same, I'd have your BUSCO jobs NOT update save history (but
your BUALL should).  Thus, your BUSCOs are cumulative since the last
BUALL.  Restoring would always be option a.

The answer  is Depends... Are you backing up The objects that have
"changed" since the last full library save ... or The objects changed
from the last saved change object?

In the first case grab the tape will the full lib on it and the change
from Wednesday In the 2nd case grab the tape will the full lib on it and
ALL the change tapes

Now if you are using BRMS or a similar software...
Tell it  you want to restore  the lib and it will tell you what tape(s)
you need.
