RE: Backup to Disk

It will save you considerable "down" or "dedicated mode" time.  When you
consider that there is another step, and that is taking the disk save to
tape.... it takes the same amount of the operator's time.

At our shop, we're very pleased with BRMS (IBM's licensed product
5722-BR1).  This product, combined with a few CL programs that end some
subsystems, hold up the unattached jobs, perform a save-while-active,
save changed objects, bring every back to life again, keeps our downtime
to an absolute minimum.

I'm assuming a backup to disk will save me considerable time vs. backup
to tape.  Thoughts?

I know that there is an option to backup to disk using the MAPICS
backup.  Is there a way to do a backup to an external storage  (NAS or
Windows file share) using some option or redirection of the normal
backup.

 

thanks
