RE: BRMS and disaster recovery

I've done a few "mini recoveries" when moving data between our live and test
partitions.

Have you run the command 
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*SYSTEM) ACTION(*REPORT)

This will give you a complete recovery roadmap including your last full save
and incremental (daily) saves. Of the 3 reports it produces, the first
(QP1ARCY, mine is 20 pages) gives complete instructions.

We run one of these after every backup and keep with the respective tape.

Part of the restore process is the command
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*ALLUSR) ACTION(*RESTORE)

At this point you select the libraries to be restored. If you don't want to
restore a library now because it's on a later daily save, don't put
1=restore next to it.

We use BRMS in our restores, one trick you could do is to create the library
and then create the largest files that you dont want empty prior to the
restore , then do the restore *new.
