Pardon me for jumping in but, in disaster recovery mode, user profiles that
had been deleted since the last save reappearing would be somewhat down the
list of things to worry about -- not that it's not important but I think I'd
want to get the business back in business.

By all means, clean up the profiles afterwards but get the business back in
business first.

Thanks, Scott.  I have read the book and none of this answers my basic
quandry.  The Save 21 tape is from 4 or 5 weeks ago.  The first RstUsrPrf
will be from that tape.  Any profile deleted since that time will remain on
the system after I do the RstUsrPrf -again- from the nightly tape, correct?
I believe this to be so since the help for the command says that any
profile existing on the system yet does not exist when a RstUsrPrf *all is
run will remain on the system.

The best solution I see would be to allow an interruption when it gets to
the RstUsrPrf to allow a change to the tape, or to do a total reset of the
user profiles so that subsequently deleted profiles do not remain on the
system.
