Re: Objects and Source

Shorea,

Thanks for your concern, I guess I left out some important facts. 
We use a single machine for both development and production and we 
only limit our saves on libraries used for testing and development. 
In a disaster recovery, our main focus is on getting the business 
back up and running. If we were a software development house, it 
might be different. In our environment, no one is concerned about 
the loss of development related test data. We did have a system 
failure a few years ago that required a full reload and there were 
no unexpected problems.

Surely you want to re-think this method. We apply the savchgobj backup daily on 
ANYTHING that has changed. God forbid the whole system crashes and you have to 
go to disaster recovery, using the last FULL system save plus the latest 
SAVCHGOBJ backup as well as the SAVSECDTA also done daily.

I know this wasn't directed toward me, but I always subscribed 
to the user objects should never start with a Q theory. That 
was until our operations guy said it makes his backup job much 
easier because he can savchgobj on all Q* files nightly.  Lost 
a source member in my rpgsrc, next day I changed to qrpgsrc.  
That was a long time ago, and I can't think of any problem that 
it has caused.
