RE: Burned by SAVCHGOBJ

If I understand SAVCHGOBJ correctly, the last tape would be accumulative of the 
objects modified since the last SAVLIB.

If that is true, then you would do a restore based on the SAVLIB and a restore 
based on the most recent SAVCHGOBJ.

I have done disaster recovery (as in dasd destroyed) off of SAVCHGOBJ.  The
typical restore scenario would have you RSTLIB from the SAVLIB tape and
RSTOBJ from the SAVCHGOBJ tapes, each one in turn.  Did you miss some?
Maybe there's daylight after all?  Read the backup & recovery manual; all
may not be lost.

For the future, I wouldn't run a month of SAVCHGOBJs; we used to do a full
SAVLIB once a week, and SAVCHGOBJ daily.  That way, we had to apply at most
6 tape sets: the SAVLIB and 5 SAVCHGOBJ.
