RE: Backup Policy

[Cyndi Bradberry <CyndiB@xxxxxxxx>]

We created our own procedure that does the equivalent of a Go SAVE 23 Save
User Data. We submit everything to a JOBQ that is on hold and a separate job
checks the time to release the JOBQ. Whenever there is a change to the
system, PTF's etc, someone comes in on the weekend and does a Go SAVE 22
Save System Data Only. Once a week on Thursday, the tapes are sent to an
off-site storage facility.  Daily tapes are kept in a Fire Vault in another
room. All tapes are rotated every three weeks.
At this time, this appears to be working for us. We just moved from one box
to another, using the tapes produced as above.  Everything works fine.
If you can poke holes in this, please let me know.
