We had been keeping daily backups for 28 days. We have upped that to 35 days so our daily rotation will include at least 1 month end.

Month end tapes are sent off-site for permanent rotation.

I keep sticking more things in the month end cases: copies of purged files and libraries, SAVSYS, etc. I hope to make the month end case a completely stand-alone rebuild of our systems. (We currently would need to take the month-end case, plus SAVSYS, plus this stray piec, and that stray piece...)

We use SAVLIBs for our backups. SAVCHGOBJ usually ends up saving close to a complete library anyway, so SAVLIB is actually more efficient!
