I have just recently re-examined my backup strategy and implemented a daily
SAVCHGOBJ with *ALLUSR , with a weekly SAVLIB *ALLUSR.
This has dramatically reduced my daily save time , from 270 minutes down to
80 minutes in some cases.
This increases my daily operating window dramatically.

However , there is a down side to SAVCHGOBJ *ALLUSR , which I recently
found
out whilst performing a DR test recovery.

There is no corresponding restore of changed objects for *ALLUSR.

To restore these changed objects you have to use the RSTOBJ command with a
named library. (There is no library option for *ALLUSR)
Which means that to restore the changed objects you have to know what
libraries were saved and in which order.
Therefore elongating the recovery process.

When you are trying to recover your system in a real DR situation this does
not help in any way.

At the test DR site a wrote a simple CL progam to read in the tapes labels
and output this to an outfile. Using this outfile the libraries were
extracted and placed as a variable into the RSTOBJ command within a loop.
Note no QFILE on a SAVCHGOBJ tape backup.

Now if I can overcome this , why can IBM not create a RSTOBJ *ALLUSR to
make
life simpler.
