Personally I find that ones marked "can be saved: no" just simply do not
need to be saved and there's really no point in reviewing them. Ok, when
you do a restore you may lose some .log file somewhere which kept track of
usage of some product. If you never saved that log file on a nightly
basis, and only saved it on your quarterly full system save, is that data
not expendable? Couldn't you just let it recreate when it starts logging
again?

There's very little that I flag with that. Granted, I'm a BRMS shop so I
prefer to use BRMS omits instead.
I only flag the following with the "can be saved: no" option:
- the directory where I store image catalog entries for PTF's or LPP's.
- My network storage spaces on my hosting lpars.

I just wouldn't get my knickers in a knot over these log files. You'll
find that at 7.2 and higher IBM will flag a few hundred files as such. Am
I going to review each to see if I really need them or not? No, I'll just
trust that IBM has determined this to be "best practices". Now, if later
I find out that some log file will be nice to have because it keeps track
of who visited a website or some such thing then maybe I'd change my mind.
And then I would have to decide if the data is that important that I drop
my website every night to get a save of that file. Because, as many know,
"save while active" of IFS data is a sick joke.
