SWA Bad Backups (was RE: Help me Justify iSeries)

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

Can you provide some more detailed info on what you mean by this?

When you say "during the checkpoint" I assume you mean the file was updated 
after the save had started but before the checkpoint was reached.

How is this possible?  I was under the impression that SWA locked the objects 
with a *SHRNUPD prior to the checkpoint being reached.

Thanks,
