Re: Program to read SAV output to IFS or userspace

["Jim Essinger" <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kenneth,

Thanks for the reply.  I know that the objects on the i5 keep that "last
saved" information.  I am talking about the IFS objects.  Files and
folders.  Is that information stored in the header?  What about tracking
over time.  Was the save done on a timely and regular basis, according to
our policies? Can I prove that by looking at the header.  I already have a
tracking system for the i5 objects (libraries, files, frograms, other) that
are save, and what tape they are on, I need the same thing for the IFS
objects put on tape with the SAV command.  I am also using a home grown save
that I created, and have maintained for 15 years or more.  I don't want, nor
see the need for a backup solution.  It's not, or should not be that
complicated.

Thanks!

Jim
