Re: BRMS full system backup

Quazy,

Following is a backup group that will backup your whole system with one
control group, and one tape (if it fits). You would need to run this in a
restricted state.






                  Display Backup Control Group Entries

Group . . . . . . . . . . : XXXFULL
Default activity  . . . . : *BKUPCY
Text  . . . . . . . . . . : *NONE

                             Weekly    Retain   Save       SWA

  60    *EXIT                *DFTACT





Press Enter to continue.

Subject:  BRMS full system backup



I am wondering the best and most efficient way to  do a full system backup
using BRMS.   I want to put the *savsys and  *bkugrp on one tape not how
the books suggest and this would be a waste on  3590's as there is plenty
of space. I also don't want to have to submit the  *savsys and then after
that finishes end all subsystems and submit the *bkugrp  and wait for that
to restart every subsystem.   Can I just put a *exit  as the last entry in
the *savsys group and run the *bkugrp from there and append  to media? is
this safe?

How does everyone else do this.

Thanks

Chris
