RE: Newbie backup question

There is some additional overhead associated with a BRMS save. However, the
only scenario I can think of that would add 5 hours to your SAVSYS would be
if you have a system with multiple Auxiliary Storage Pools. In this kind of
configuration BRMS has a default option to save authority for every object
in a user ASP. If you have a lot of ASP's with a lot of objects, this can
take considerable time. There is a way around this though. You can tell BRMS
NOT to save authority data for users ASP's. 

>From your main BRMS menu enter: 

GO BRMBKUPCY 

>From the Backup Policy Menu, take Option 2. Work with items to omit from
backup. 

Add the following entries to omit saving user ASP authority from a SAVSYS or
SAVSECDTA save: 

 
Type     Backup item    
                              
*SAVSYS  *USRASPAUT     
*SECDTA  *USRASPAUT

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have been doing SAVSYS outside of BRMS forever and
they are only ran for 15-20 minutes. Now that I am running them through BRMS
they are taking over 5 hours. I am using 3581 drives Ultrium3 tapes. Nothing
has changed that I know of on the system. We have an 825 at 5.3 OS. Did
anyone have the same problem? Thank you in advance.
