I have hundreds of thousands of small Bill Images (65k each) stored in
the IFS on my V5R4M5 iSeries.
I use an UDFS to store these files on a separate ASP.
My save strategy is to save all of these stream files once a month
(Full Save)... A Cumulative save weekly... and an Incremental save
daily.
I suppose that in order to do this I would need to save the UDFS while
it is mounted.
However, I keep seeing in InfoCenter, that a UDFS should be saved
after un-mounting it.
So in my implementation I guess IBM recommends I un-mount the UDFS and
save it as /dev/QASP04/billimages.udfs instead of the directory it is
usually mounted over /PRDSCIS/BILLIMAGE.
My concern with doing this is that I would loose the ability to do
Incremental saves and I wouldn't have any information in the BRMS
database, about the files and directories I have saved to tape.
Do you think my save strategy as outlined above (keeping the UDFS
mounted) is sound?
Do I have to do anything special to restore these files (except create
the UDFS and mount it) when I do a DR test or other recovery?
