RE: V5R3 Backup w/Checkpoint and Ragged Restore (was: RE: Help me Justify iSeries)

Ken,

I agree with you, but I was addressing the necessity of what's required for
SWA, not the benefits of journaling which are many.

Yes this is true Al .... but there are many more benefits to journaling
your
production data environment.

If you use remote journaling, you have an "up to the last transaction"
offsite save of your production data between backups.

It is a requirement in a "commit" environment.

It provides a wonderful audit record of what is going on with your
production data.

Walden,

The whole point of getting the checkpoint is that you don't have journal!
