RE: BRMS, incremental saves, last saved date.

Dunno how BRMS does it, but can't you have your software that's doing
the saves specify UPDHST(*NO)?  Seems the safest method.

Subject: BRMS, incremental saves, last saved date.

Hey all,

does anyone know what BRMS uses to decide whether to save a file on an
incremental backup?

In other words, if I do a BRMS weekly full save, and daily incrementals,
but lets say on wednesday I make a change to a file, and save that file
to another tap drive or a savefile using SAVOBJ (or
even SAVOBJBRM).   Does that file get backed up that night on my
incremental too?  or will it treat the last SAVOBJ as sufficient to not
save the file?

in still other words, does BRMS keep track of it's own last save
date/time or does it use the object's last save date/time?

The problem I'm going to have is that there are several places in the
software where a file or files are saved to savfile, not via BRMS. 
These save files could possibly be overwritten later, and BRMS would not
know about it.

Thanks,

Rick
