Re: External disk for iSeries

Larry,

There was quite a discussion on whether or not save files were any faster. 
 And lots of people reported the opposite.  The only new argument you 
bring the table is the parallel concept.  That might be significant.

I'd like to know the system specs:  Model and tape drive, that you 
enhanced.  Too often I hear stuff that someone discovered in V1R2 on a B10 
and take as gospel today.

Save files too slow?  I have cut backup windows by 75% with SAVFs on 
large customer systems. Run enough of them in parallel to burry the I/O 
or CPU (whichever happens first.) Then you save those things to tape as 
time permits with the system back on line.  Ya just gotta know the best 
programming language going: CL!
