Re: Backing up IFS subdirectories?

1)  Try
OBJ('/usr/*')
and not
OBJ('/usr/*.*')
2)  Show us your restore command.

As part of our weekly backups, we want to backup one directory in the
IFS and all of the subdirectories below it.

For whatever reason, the SAV command that I wrote is only saving the
contents
of the top directory.  Here's my command:

         SAV        DEV('/qsys.lib/tapebcc.devd') +
                      OBJ('/usr/*.*')  +
                      ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) UPDHST(*YES)

The parameter SUBTREE has a default value of *ALL, which the online help
says "The entire subtree of each directory that matches the object name
pattern is included.  The subtree includes all subdirectories and
the objects within those subdirectories."

 Now I have been able to verify the hard way that none of the files
in any subdirectory are being backed up (I did a DSPTAP
DATA(*SAVRST) when my RST statement came back with
'No Object Found').

Can anyone see what I am missing?  Thanks.
