Re: Question on backing up the IFS

Hello Darryl,

Am 12.05.2021 um 16:00 schrieb a4g atl <a4ginatl2@xxxxxxxxx>:

I thought when doing a SAV, that all IFS files/folders would be saved. I have not done this for many years and so yesterday I was trying to do a IFS backup, I found that SAV did not allow me to backup the folders.

What exactly is "the folders"?

Perhaps I need to play with the command more.

Definitely. Also do a RTVCLSRC of QMNSAVE. This is the commands being run with Save 21. There you can peek how IBM does that.

Is there a simple way to backup the IFS user folders?

If the user folders are all in /home (this is usually the case), then: Yes.

SAV OBJ(('/home/*')) SUBTREE(*ALL)

should do the trick.

:wq! PoC
