Hi All

I don't know if this even possible, or what other options there might be, so feel free make any suggestions at all.

I have a customer who wants to take a snapshot of a set of libraries at a point in time each night. The obvious method is to save the libraries to save files and then restore them to different libraries, named appropriately, There are however a number of environments on this machine so space is something of a concern. If possible I would like to avoid recommending additional disk just for the purpose of save files, although I'm prepared to do this if it is the only practical solution.

We take a "snapshot" of our production (data) libraries every night simply using the CPYLIB command. As long as all of your LF's are, also, in the same library, I would think that this would work - if I understand your purpose.
