RE: Backup using Save Files

For the same reason that you would expect to have performance improve to a
save file in a traditional ASP (2-32).

The problem is that the IFS only exists in *SYSBAS and in IASPs, so as the
image catalogue must reside in the IFS, the only way for it to get a
segregated pool of DASD is in an IASP.  IMHO, IASPs are a pain in the neck,
but Rochester is saying that they are strategic.  Use the menu GO FIGURE.

Hi Al

any clue as to why an IASP would have improved things ?
I would have though the opposite effect would be  more likely.
