Re: SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSER) -- MIDRANGE-L

Ryan,

I backup selected IFS directories and libraries to the same tape everynight.



If you haven;t noticed yet, the device for the SAV command is kinda "funny":

   DEV('QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD')

in my case. The object (folder) also must be in quotes and iscase-sensitive, such as:


   OBJ(('USR/IBM Manuals/*'))

Can't recall why the parens are doubled there.

Thanks for all the replies.  I am currently reviewing our backup strategy
and thought I noticed a peculiararity - maybe not.  Via CL, we are currenlty
backing up our IFS to a SAVF in qsys and then backing up the SAVF along with
all other qsys data using SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(TAP01)...etc.  The goal
was to have the IFS information on tape with everything else.  Although,
this means a portion of my IFS information hits me twice on DASD usage.

I'm looking at the SAV command and I see Device as an option.  Couldn't I be
backing up my IFS to the same tape SAVLIB is using (TAP01)?

All user libraries, including IBM libraries containg user data (e.g.
QGPL and QUSRSYS).
Not the IFS.

Sav is the command for saving the IFS.

Does the SAVLIB command for V5R2 save qsys.lib only...or does it also
save the IFS?
