Re: IPCS down after V4R5 restore

If I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I've done this) - if *NWSD
is varied off, storage space is backed up in it's entirety as a single
AS/400 object - and then it will be saved with /QFPNWSSTG directory.
If *NWSD is varied on, then AS/400 will attempt to backup it's contents on
a file level, and then these directories/files will be saved with an IFS
directory where these directories/files logically belong.

It's much easier (and faster) to vary off *NWSD and save entire storage
space.
It's also much easier to restore - restoring on a file level requires some
very carfeul sequence of steps.

I don't think you'll like this answer, but AFAIK there are only two basic
ways to backup and restore that space. First is to do a full storage save
and restore rather than a system save/restore. Second is to run an NT-based
backup and restore.

The AS/400 essentially doesn't see what's in that space and therefore only
backs up and restores the high-level directory. See the IPCS manual on
Implementing the IPCS for details. (Not sure of the name of the manual.)
