Re: Nightly saves

1 & 6 during the week. On Sunday mornings we do something similar to #4 using our own CL.
During the week we use the Al Barsa patented save-while-active backup method, meaning we end every subsystem, start the SWA backup, and when it gets a lock on everything we restart the system.

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,
