Re: Nightly saves

We end the interactive subsystems and do a SAVLIB in a CL program. The save files are fpt'ed to a backup AS/400 and then deleted from the production box, all under control of the CL program.

I need to revisit our backup approach and I'd like to conduct a poll.  Do you 
do any of the following for your nightly backup?

1. End QINTER SBS?
2. End just active jobs in QINTER?
3. Save to disk?
4. Perform a GO SAVE 21?
5. Perform another GO SAVE option?
6. Perform your own SAVLIB CL?

We do 2 and 6.  (Actually, we count on our ERP system [MAPICS] to do 2, but it 
doesn't always do what we need it to).

Thanks,
