Re: backups on AS/400, objects missing -- auto-run procedures

["Clare Holtham" <Clare.Holtham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steven,
And the AS/400 doesn't tell you when it skips objects during backup, unlike
the System 36. You could do object precheck, or look at the joblog, however
the real issue is probably making sure all jobs are ended before the backup
starts.
