Backups are to tape. Nitely backup is not practical in our current political climate, and when the AS/400 got moved, I did not want to relocate (previously we had weeknite backups by me being a bully (kicking people off who wanted to use the system when I wanted to do a backup)). About 2-3 times a year we need to recover something from a backup. Typically years between real serious incidents.
For end fiscal I end everything from main console, then restart only QCTL QBATCH QSPL.
For remote backup, I try to be awake in wee hours when real users unlikely, but usually success on no more than 2 tries on a Sunday. I don't end anything except active jobs (people who went home without signing off) and system printer (no print audit trail), just run GO BACKUP.
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, Bryan Burns M.I.S. Department ECHO, Incorporated
