RE: Nightly backup takes longer after upgrade from V4R5 to V5R1

["Diana Hicks" <DianaH@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After comparing history logs from before and after the upgrade as well as 
generating a joblog, I found that QMPGDATA, QRCL, QUSRDIRDB and SYSIBM were 
added to the V5R1 all user libraries from go backup (runbckup).  The backup 
increase was caused mostly from the QMPGDATA library.  Many allocation errors 
were occuring from the PM/400 collection job while the backup was trying to 
save QMPGDATA.  To eliminate this, I have to change go backup option to select 
libraries from a list which doesn't include QMPGDATA or follow the instructions 
on 
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/pm/existing_customers/datacoll.htm 
.

Thanks for all the suggestions that were submitted.
