Re: SAVLIB to FTP where files > 1tb

Bruce If I read this API correctly, it allows for the save operation
to "intercept" the savefile records and do something with them, like
sending to the remote system, provided you had created sending
/receiving programs.

Do you know if the SAVRSTxxx commands work this way? Meaning that they
do not consume(much) DASD on the source system but do on the target.


Thanks,
Bryan

You may want to check out the Save to Application API QaneSava documented at

This API could be used as an enabler for many possible solutions to your
problem.  I have used it quite successfully in the past to provide such
backup scenarios.

Subject: SAVLIB to FTP where files > 1tb

Having some issues here,

I would love to FTP my data on a nightly basis to another FTP server but
this doesn't seem to be possible...

It appears that this is no issue what so ever if you are able to backup
to a SAV file and then FTP the sav file over.

Unfortunately my files are > 1tb and so I need double the amount of disk
space to do the backup.

My questions:

1) Why do I need to dupe my data to achieve this, why can't I stream it
straight over ftp?

2) Can I somehow split it up into many smaller files that can be sent
individually as the backup is processing and then cleared down?

3) How can I get cheap temporary disk space (preferably something like
IDE?) that's not going to cost me an arm and a leg just for this?

Cheers guys, appreciate your time

Mike
