The Save 21 will of course work, but it will bring downtime.
Not to mention using up lots and lots of tape. When we changed out the
bad hard drive on our V4R4 development box, we tried to do a DO SAVE 21
on a stack of QIC525 tapes, but when it got up to four 6525s and half a
dozen 6320s with no end in sight, we gave up and retrieved a QIC4GB tape
from our off-site repository.
Still, even given having to change journal receivers, use *SYNCLIB, and
save additional nonstandard data, why would a backup procedure care
whether it was saving to ordinary QIC, ordinary 8mm, some ancient
9-track reel, an encrypted tape drive, or (assuming the hardware ever
supports it) a USB device? Isn't hardware abstraction one of the
hallmarks of IBM midrange systems?
