  • Subject: RE: Backing up the IFS - what actually gets backed up?

The SAV/RST commands started supporting /QNTC with V4R5.  From V4R2 to V4R4
you could not SAV/RST /QNTC.

Nothing about /QNTC is dependent on an IPCS/INS/IXS/FSIOP.  It is just
built into the base OS.

Hope this helps.

Rob,

I don't think you can back up directly from QNTC (maybe you can if you have
an IPCS or whatever it's called these days).  I can happily copy, delete
etc. files on QNTC, but SAV just says "Can't".  I don't have an IPCS
installed.  I can copy from QNTC to a directory on the IFS and then save
from there with no problems.  This is on V5R1.

Cheers
Robin

Bruce, one of us, is totally misled.

Item 1)  QNTC.
My belief is that QNTC is NOT the storage for integrated netfinity servers
on the same 400.  My belief is that QNTC is used for the 400 to have access
to PC's within the network.  For example, if I have a PC named ROB in a
different building then I can do a CPY from /QNTC/ROB/... as long as the
400
user/pwd matches a user/pwd that has access to the share on that PC. Now,
my
userid/pwd has administrator access to every PC in our network. That's over
800.  If it didn't automatically exclude QNTC then I would be backing up
every PC in my organization when I saved the IFS.  I'd rather continue to
use ADSTAR to do this, thank you.

Item 2)  QFileSvr.400
If I do the following
MD '/QFileSvr.400/rmt400'
then
WRKLNK '/QFileSvr.400/rmt400/*'
Then I can see everything on the remote 400.  Therefore I would hope that
this gets automatically excluded, or in effect I am backing up two 400's
from one.

Yes, so long as the server is varied off during the save. The space
(physically) in QNTC is not really what you are after.  The QFPNWSSTG is
the
space your after. In either event, the omits above a specifically omit QSYS
(saved by normal library saves) QDLS (saved by SAVDLO) and IBM  product
information in the directories (don't store anything there thinking it's
PRODUCTION instead of PRODUCT <vbg>)

No, they are automatically included.

Again, why QNTC? It's just a lump, a heap. And what about QFileSvr.400?
Without OS/2, I don't think (pretty sure) anything goes in here. That was
the space for OS/2. But the data actually showed on QFPNWSSTG, like the NT.
