RE: Probably very easy, Newbie question -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks Steve.  I was attempting to backup up the whole system on a bimonthly
basis.  We don't do a lot of development on that machine, but this may
increase
in the future.  What is there needs to be backed up in case of the usual
disaster
recovery situation.

And I appreciate the reassurance...just very confused.  Used to working on
systems
where I can get my hands on the details.  Not much to work with here, or I
just
don't know enough to find it.

Dont dispair yet Newbie.

Option 21 will save the user and system libraries. Do you need to do that,
or just the user libraries ?

If just the user libraries, you just need to make sure no user jobs are
running when you do the backup.

- get everyone to signoff.
- end all batch jobs ( or wait for them to end )
- from the command line, run the cmd:

 SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR)
        DEV(TAP01)
        SEQNBR(1)
        ENDOPT(*UNLOAD)
        CLEAR(*ALL)

If some objects were in use and could not be saved,  you will get completion
messages telling you so.

Hope this helps,

Steve Richter
