>From my point of view source files are fairly small.  Our systems are
500-600 GB, and the major data libraries are backed up in a couple hours on
3590 tape drives.  The largest source library is a small percentage of the
total backup and it's easy for me to find a safe window for a static backup,
so SAVOBJ or SAVLIB is acceptable.

I imagine that source files would be one place where SAVCHGOBJ might be
acceptable, unless you're doing something funky with your source.  The
concern with SAVCHGOBJ is that it doesn't recognize deleted members.  While
recovering source files you might accidentally recover a deleted member,
which doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

So what do you people recommend for backing up all those multi-member source
files? Or do you keep each source member in a separate file?
