RE: VFYIMGCLG Parameter

We have an IBM BCRS contract to do just that twice a year for two of our production servers (IBM Business Continuity and Resiliency Services). We use
the facilities in Boulder CO on a Power5+ 570 lpar'd with 3 CPU's with like 36GB of RAM. I couldn't tell you what it costs us.

Not sure if they still offer it but IBM used to have a service where you
could take (or send?) your media and do a restore on a DR box at their
facilities.

Hi Jerry

I take it you'd prefer to wait until you had a *real* disaster to learn
how
to do this :)

Personally - and this may not be applicable in your case - I recommend
that
anyone tasked with having to do a restore in the event of a disaster
take
whatever opportunity they can find to rehearse the process.

I think I'll wait until tomorrow or Thursday before doing the actual
install, though, in to give Larry, Pete, et al, a chance to say "No,
No!
You can't install Access 6.1 on i5/OS 5.4, you idiot!" I mean, really,
I
had just as soon *not* having to learn how to restore a complete system
from
backup media, Thank you very much.
