Re: SAVE 21 - console required? Or just controlling subsystem?

I disagree that an online backup will make BRMS an overkill. Some of the
online services emulate a tape library and play quite well with BRMS. Some
of them use their own save/restore commands. That scares me to no end.
When it comes down to it I still want to be able to see every save of an
object I want to restore. Often it's not last nights save I want but one
from exactly x days ago. Especially with stream file stuff. so-and-so
needs his email file restored into Domino from a week ago, kind of stuff.
They never tell you right when they screw it up.

A good online service, emulating a library, serviced with BRMS, can do all
this.

From the above you can infer that we save our nightly saves x days, our

weekly (Monday) saves x weeks, and our quarterly saves a year.
