Fiona - I agree with Al. Always save access paths... You should investigate using the Save While Active feature of SAV/RST to reduce your application offline time while doing backups too. I B/U over 300GB a night using BRMS/400, our 3590 tape drives and the Save While Active feature. Our production applications are only unavailable to users for about 25 minutes a day and that is at 3AM... The end user hardly even notices the downtime and I backup everything I need for a quick and easy recovery. Al has a great presentation on Save While Active that I bet he would send you, if you asked nicely... Kenneth -- ******************************** Kenneth E.

Should the nightly save changes job save access paths just like the weekly full saves ? We've been using this strategy to minimise tape & offline batch-window usage for 5 years, but I'm wondering if this is wrong for effective disaster-recovery, when it slows down to rebuild them. Our application files rarely change, only the pgms get upgraded weekly. Does anyone have an opinion on the pros & cons of this ?
