RE: SAV -- What's wrong with this picture? -- MIDRANGE-L

Remove the share and see if it recurs.  If so, and you've got the 
inclination - report it to IBM.  If it doesn't recur, perhaps you should 
have listened to your mother and stopped before you went blind.

RE: SAV -- What's wrong with this picture?










Thanks for the link Rob.  That was a bit easier to understand and had
better examples than the CL manual.  Now for something else that's 
weird...

I tried it again and it worked.  I mean using F9 to retrieve the command
with no changes.  The only thing that I did in between was to create a
share of the root directory using iSeries Navigator.  I did that because I
wanted to map a drive to the IFS root and although there were shares to
some other folders there was none for the root.  Could that have made a
difference?

Maybe it's just senility starting to set in.

Not really contradictory.  On the one that works he is trying to backup /*
but not QSYS.LIB or QDLS, and they are both in /*.
Although you may be on the right track.  All the examples in the help with
*omit assume /* is being saved.

I used a utility to find that message and it was CPF382B (helps to include
that).  I checked the second level help and you have that all covered.

Anyone know where to find the manual referenced by the InfoCenter:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/ic2924/info/cl/sav.htm

It's suggesting this book "Backup and Recovery book, SC41-5304" but it
includes no link.
Oh found it, under Information Center Home - Printable PDF's and Manuals.
I've yet to find the "For detailed restrictions on using this command "
part of the Backup and Recovery Guide that the URL for the SAV command
refers to.  Happy hunting dave.

RE: SAV -- What's wrong with this picture?






I would think it's because you're trying to backup a directory
(DAPARNIN) but not back up a subfolder that's inside it. Seems to me
that that's contradictory.
