Let's go with that. My point is that your proposed solution doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Since, in the end you have to rely on some number of people not to delete the journal, you need to make sure that if it is deleted, you can know who deleted it. Copying the journal OFF of the OS400 system removes your ability to know WHO deleted it. We can certainly disagree about this, but my take is that losing that ability at least offsets any value you might have derived by copying it.
