Just a FYI bu we will be sending our last nightly backup and also issue a savcfg and savsecdta every night. We just want to be able to send 2 full system saves / 2 nightly backups while keeping copies at our local offsite storage center.

Excuse me, but is that a valid DR test? When a fire occurs will it give
you time to do a complete system save and send it off to your BP?
Ok, I think it's alright for your first iteration. Then one day should
come the "ok team, grab the last system save and last night's backup's and
let's go". That's when you discover the fun stuff like:
- Gee we added 300 users since the last full system save and we don't have
them.
- Anyone remember how to configure that printer that we got last week?
Wasn't that a bear?
- Smitty said that collection of libraries only needed to be saved when we
do a full system save. And the last system save was before the set of
libraries were created.
- What about all the transactions between last night's backup and when we
headed out today?

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
HI All,
On a monthly basis we run a full system (option 21) save and IPL our
system. To do this, we have an operator who manually brings the system
into a restricted state, goes to the save menu and executes option 21. As
part of the option 21, when the save completes, it starts the controlling
subsystem which then executes the qstruppgm. As I mentioned earlier, we
IPL the system after the save finishes but our operator is having to wait
for the system to start, then end back to a restricted state before he can
IPL the system. It's been awhile since I have been through the option 21
save options, and I've done some reading online, but there doesn't appear
to be an option to bypass the startup. Can anyone suggest a way around
this?
Also, we are preparing for our DR test this December and want to execute 3
consecutive option 21 saves (2 to send to out DR partner, 1 to keep). As
you can image, if the system starts after each one it would add a lot of
time to this procedure. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
David Charmatz
