RE: SAVLIB?

I guess the problem is you've got too much choice with the 400: you can save
save files as objects (using SAVOBJ, SAV or even SAVLIB if all *SAVF objects
go to the same library) to tape - if this is the case, you will have to
first restore save files to disk in order to then restore their contents; or
you can use SAVSAVFDTA command for each save file in which case the restore
from tape can be done as if the initial SAVLIBs were not to save files but
to tape. These are the simplest.

I am not aware of any easy solution that would let you backup several save
files to tape in a way that would allow restoring all of their contents with
a single command, although using LODRUN facility something like this can
easily be written. Still, you will end up with multiple tape files although
they can of course fit on one tape provided there is enough room on it.

Backup and Recovery Guide contains all the necessary detail.

Subject: SAVLIB?


I would like to do several savlibs to *SAVFs and then copy several
*SAVFs to a single tape so files could be restored from tape via rstlib
or rstobj. (Kind of like MAPICS works.) I just do not understand the
transfer from disk to tape. Could someone point an AS/400 hack wannabee
in the right direction?

TIA,
