Re: Remote system saves

[Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the past (at least 2 years ago, probably V4R5 or earlier, with a user 
backup program specifying DLYJOB until the desired start time) I did have 
a few occasions where the backup did not start at the time specified in 
the DLYJOB.  It was not the fact that the console had gone into dim or 
power saver mode (because on all occasions it did that and the backup 
usually worked).  I never did find out why on a few occasions the backup 
job would not start at the specified time.

So what you are saying, is that if the console does not fall asleep, it
should work?
