Re: Save date of user profile Was: QSYSOPR user profile and GO SAVE 21

Hi Mike

Presumably this means a SAVSECDTA has not been run.

If you do a GO BACKUP and then take the option to change the Backup
options, page down and see if the "Security data" option has been set
to "Y" on any of them. I'm kinda betting it hasn't been. That or you
don't actually run the backup option it has been set for.

FWIW I have always hated the GO BACKUP option and avoid or get rid of
it wherever possible.
