RE: System Distribution Directory Entries - Save & Restore

Gord --

Using the instructions in the Backup and Recovery Guide, Chapter 14,
"Restoring Previous Release User Data to a New System"
has worked well for our company.  We have done many migrations for our
clients using this checklist.

If the 520 was order with feature 0205, then it is already at the "scratch
install" state (just LIC and base OS/400 installed).
You can start the checklist on page 341 at step 24.

If it was ordered with feature 5000 (or is an express box --- IBM doesn't
give you a choice of feature), you have to start on page 332 with the
scratch install.

Once you complete the restores, your QUSRSYS and QGPL will show *BACKLVL,
but the next steps are a manual release upgrade to
get everything up to V5R3.
