RE: Full save with IASP

Justin--

Any chance some of those IFS objects can be archived into SAVFs? We did some pruning that way and saved significant time on our backups!

Of course, if everyone wants instant access to the objects, this won't work. You could build a retrieval system to restore objects from the SAVFs on-demand. "This is left as an exercise for the student."

Do you use ASYNCBRING? "Achieve faster IFS save times using SAV with ASYNCBRING" https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM+i+Technology+Updates/page/Achieve+faster+IFS+save+times+using+SAV+with+ASYNCBRING


It's a shame that 'buy' is not in your future. If it's a case of funds being non-existant, I understand.

If it's just a matter of saying 'we can do it better...' you'll spend a long time trying to replicate all of the features in BRMS or a similar utility. How much money will be spent in your time to create what you need? Plus, BRMS or similar will have a lot of error checking built-in that has to be layered into a home-brew application as new and interesting 'conditions' are discovered! Ask me how I know this!!
