That is usual after doing a reorg.

If you have many indexes they take time in background completing the reorg
after the main reorg is done.

This process uses resources that the backup would usually have.

All,

First, let me wish everyone a happy new year. I hope that each of you
is blessed this year with good health and prosperity. Now to my issue - I
wrote a program that scans through libraries and reorgs files that have
many deleted records. Sounds reasonable enough.....However, since running
this program, my backups are running much longer. Why would this be? Is
there something that I can do to get the time needed to save these
libraries back to a reasonable timeframe?

I have considered saving the libs to a save file and making the system
available while backing the save files up to tape (which I'm assuming would
be faster given the I/o rate of disk vs. tape). But I'm perplexed as to
why the reorg would add time to my backup.

Any thoughts/suggestions are much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Richard Reeve
