Yeah, some reaqlly odd things. We have a procedure that does a SAVCHGxxx every night, with the previous run's date and time for reference date. We save to SAVFs, then copy to IFS and compress with gzip before writing to CD. We do libraries individually. One lacuna I just noticed is, a new library is not saved with SAVLIB - objects in it get caught by the SAVCHGOBJ, and restoring might be a problem if the library does not exist. Not too much of a problem - recovery is a manual process for now.

One problem is that the reference date function is specified differently in all the various SAVCHGxxx commands - Yuk!

But we've been able to recover from 2 inadvertent DLTLIB's

Dies BRMS allow saves to SAVF?

The problem is most likely caused when you use the Reference Date Parm as *SAVLIB, this causes a few problems. One of the reasons we always have our clients use the actual date of the full save of the library.
If you create a new library and have never saved it using a SAVLIB type command, then SAVCHGOBJ will not backup that library on each nightly save. Also, if someone Saves the library with update history *YES, then that becomes the new reference point of backup whats been saved since that date/time.


SAVCHGOBJ is a great tool when you understand all the quirks that come along with it. Implemented correctly, and the right procedures for restoration, SAVCHGOBJ can work.

What IBM is missing is the command SaveEverythingSinceMyLastFullSave command. Why would that be so difficult?
