Thomas, I think Alexie meant that it would be better to vary off the NWSD and then do a SAVOBJ *SVRSTG and then subsequent RSTOBJ *SVRSTG than to try to save and restore the directory tree from IFS. However in my case, I don't think the *SVRSTG objects were saved by SAVE 21. At least they did not restore by RESTORE 21. Apparently I should be doing this manually if I want them backed up. -Marty ---------- original message ------------- Date: 5 Nov 2001 20:16:37 -0800 To: midrange-l@midrange.com From: thomas@inorbit.com Subject: Re: IPCS down after V4R5 restore Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com Alexei: On Fri, 02 November 2001, "Alexei Pytel" wrote: > If I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I've done this) - if *NWS= D > 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 o= n > a file level, and then these directories/files will be saved with an IFS > directory where these directories/files logically belong. Your comment made me look up details and I see that V4R5 SAVOBJ/RSTOBJ now = allow the object type *SVRSTG -- a vast improvement since the IPCS manuals = were printed. Much better than pre-V4R5.

Is= this simply an indication that completely restoring from SAVSTG is easier = than restoring all objects from a full system save? Tom Liotta
