RE: BRMS and disaster recovery

We use BRMS to do full saves weekly and incremental saves nightly.  I
just ran a full save of a test library, then ran STRRCYBRM
OPTION(*SYSTEM) ACTION(*REPORT).  The report only showed one restore
from the last full save for that library.  

My thought is that if the recovery report says to restore your
production libraries twice there must be a reason for it.  Are you
positive that your dailies are full library saves?  If they are I would
be calling SupportLine to figure out why the reports are telling you to
restore those libs twice.

Loyd,

I think you've hit the nail on the head. We know how to run the reports,
but didn't know if there was a way to exclude libraries on the BRMS
restore.
On the report, it shows that to recover to a specific day, it lists all
the user libraries, including production libraries, as coming from the
full
system tape, and then it shows the production libraries coming from the
daily backup tape. We only want to restore the production libraries
once, but
didn't know if there was a way to exclude them from the restore of the
full system tape. Thanks for your help.

Nick Franco
