Re: New to BRMS

Exactly!
If you do a WRKOBJBRM MYLIB/MYFILE *FILE and you used BRMS to save to save
files, then used SAVSAVFBRM to move it to tapes, it will tell you the tapes
holding that object.
However if you do the save to save file outside of BRMS then you're SOL.

It would be my recommendation to either use BRMS or NOT use BRMS. Mixing
and Matching means that BRMS doesn't have full tracking of what's saved
where r when. That doesn't make much difference for purposes of saving,
HOWEVER, the only reason we save things is so that we can restore them
if needed. If BRMS doesn't know where they are saved, that's a problem.

I have difficulty understanding the commands.

I am saving libraries to savf outside of BRMS.

I then want to use SAVSAVFBRM to copy the savf to tape. The command does
not make sense. How does it know what savf's to copy?

SAVSAVFBRM CTLGRP(DAILY) DEV(TAPMLB01) MEDPCY(DP_DAILY)

This does not make sense to me. How does it know what SAVF's to copy to
tape?

The control group contains a list of libraries from the existing backup.

BTW: I am saving to savf first so that I can FTP the savf's to a NAS.

TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
