Does anyone know if the 3rd party backup products do anything more than stick a DLYJOB RSMTIME(&TIME) before it does the SAVE 21 stuff? I did this years ago where the system console was in a locked room for which only the MIS manager & myself had a key. Every afternoon I'd load the next day's backup tape in the tape drive, call up a special menu on the system console, take the option. The first thing it did was to INZTAP the tape, this was also a sanity check that the drive was "ready". I walked out of the computer room and locked the door. Then it hit a DLYJOB RSMTIME(020000) before ENDSBS *ALL and running all of the SAVe commands. Not knowing any better to do otherwise, my method requires restricted access to the system console. Do the 3rd party backup products do it any better than that? Dan Bale IT - AS/400 Handleman Company 248-362-4400 Ext. 4952 D.Bale@Handleman.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Is this possible? Not really, as the full system save runs in restricted state. Some 3rd party backup products (Robot/Save is the one that comes to mind) provides support to schedule a full system save. I think you have to run a backup agent on your console and it checks the time and takes the system into restricted state prior to trying to run a full system save. david +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
