Without analyzing each step, at a quick glance i'm surprised that I don't
see any journal oriented recovery steps to get more up to the minute
recovery results after you restore from your nightly save.  I've never
worked for someone with a DR site, but i'm thinking that if that expense
was to be undertaken, you'd probably want to get into some journaling to
better protect your data.  I can't imagine trying to reproduce a day's work
accurately for even a single department  (heck... even for a user!).
Journaling gives a lot of bank for the buck...

List -

We will soon do our first-ever disaster recovery test.  I anticipate that
we
will be given a 'clean' machine when we walk into the DR site.  Is this an
accurate series of events?

Restricted State:
 - Load OS/400 and LIC (from save 21 tape)
 - RSTUSRPRF *ALL (from nightly save)
 - RSTCFG *ALL (from nightly save)
 - RSTLIB DISASTER (from nightly save)
    Note: We have a library called DISASTER which contains a 'restore'
version of our nightly
   'save' and a copy of the file containing the names of libraries saved in

the nightly save - QGPL
   and QUSRSYS are included in the file but not all libraries on the
system.
- Run DISASTER/RESTORE program to restore libraries from nightly save
- RSTDLO DLO(*ALL) SAVFLR(*ANY)
- RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/your tape drive.DEVD')
       OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT))
- RSTAUT

Questions:
How do you feel about the idea of having a DISASTER library with a RESTORE
program?
What problems would you foresee?
Will the process work as written above?

Thanks,

Steve
