Read the backup and recovery guide. I can't remember exactly where but the statement is made that all SAVE options will save anything on your system EXCEPT: "The contents of Queues" This includes, Outqs, Jobqs, Dataqs, Userqs and any other queues that may exist on the system. It is critical to understand this when saving your sytem (especailly if you intend to restore it!)

The only exceptioin is SAVSTG which save an image of your system. This option should *NOT* be used as a production backup method.

In this case you are basically SOL.

Why your spool files are gone when you only did an upgrade is another question entirely.

Hi All,

During an upgrade last night, some of the spool files on a V5R2 system ( I believe, including the outq's ) were lost.

We do not have a Spool file backup system. The question is "Can we restore Saturday night's QSPL and get back all our spool files" ?

Thanks Pillai, N R
