Re: Logon during night backup on tape

How are you fixed for disk space? My 3 shift client had me build
a backup that runs during the third shift lunch period. The
system is brought down, and then everything gets saved to save
files in a library called BACKUPS. When the system comes back up,
that one library is saved to tape.


FWiW the SAVSAVFDTA command on each SAVF is generally considered /better/ than a SAVLIB or SAVOBJ [of course with SAVFDTA(*YES)] of the save files, in order to enable more direct recovery. That is noted just in case that option of saving the save file data [with label & sequence number to sequential media] was unknown to anyone reading the quoted text. As well there is virtual tape which can be used similarly to make media from which restore\recovery can be done directly.
