Definitely sounds like an Opportunity For Adventure! :)

I agree, though, that working within BRM along the lines Rob suggests is better than not.

Rob and Joe,

There may be another advantage to Rob's method.
If you ever do the command, WRKMEDIBRM LIB(Library that was saved with a savf) these saves do NOT appear.

I like Rob's idea and approach, I'm going to test this out.

WRKMEDIBRM LIB(Library that was saved with a virtual volume) these saves I believe will appear.

Also, I wonder if you could RSTLIBRM from the virtual volume remotely across LPARs.
If so, no need to FTP the virtual.

Paul

Paul's reply is certainly valid. I've just gotten more used to virtual tape since I can store multiple libraries, directories, etc on it versus save files.

Thanks, Paul.

This is what I'd like to do, because I can then send the save file to
another machine to do a refresh. Rob's virtual volume approach seems
more "BRMS-y" but I'm not sure it will allow me to do what I need.

Yes, we use this process for a single application save, don't need to
worry if the tape library is available.
We then save the savf to media at a later time.

Subject: BRMS Question

This is just a general question, since I'm a BRMS neophyte.

Does BRMS support saving libraries to a save file, and then saving the
save file? I'd like to save a library to a save file (thus freeing up the
library) and then save the save file one or more times to media.
Does this sound like something BRMS supports?

Thanks!
