Re: Backup Policy

Dang.  I knew I should'a qualified that.  Well, who cares about the bean
counters, anyway, eh?  <g>

What do you do about the contents of >*JOBQs, *USRQs, *DTAQs, *MSGQs etc ???

How about the jobs on the job scheduler?

*Almost* everything.  The contents of Queues are *NOT* Saved.  Restore
from these tapes and those )^)(*^%% accountants will NOT have all the
reports they have been saving out there for months and months. Also
*JOBQs, *USRQs, *DTAQs, *MSGQs etc will come back MT.

If you really want the contents of these things to be saved you must put
those contents somplace else (such as in a DB file.)
