Re: What happens to workspace?

Sorry for the 2nd post.  I just re-read your question there.

I don't know if I actually answered it - just kind of spouted of about our 
little backup program.

All of the backup's are stored in PF-DTA files in the System I library.

So, basically, all of our PC documents from the local PC get's zipped into 
a zip file (based on folder - or how ever you set it up), and FTP'd into a 
library.  A library and file is much easier to restore from a tape, then 
one IFS folder - at lease it was when we wrote the backup system. 

Hope that clarifies it some.

Re: [WDSCI-L] What happens to workspace?

from our PC's to a System I library.

Do you mean the IFS vs. a library?  Or how are the PC documents stored on
your iSeries?  I am in the process of buying my first iSeries by myself 
and
it would be nice to be able to do the same thing.

Thanks,
Aaron Bartell

That's right Aaron.  We also use a backup program like that. Only we FTP 
our
PC apps, and other things (GX Knowledge bases) from our PC's to a System I
library.  That way it get's archived with our standard Disaster Recovery
procedures. 

We wrote our own, but they are very nice type of programs to have.

Re: [WDSCI-L] What happens to workspace?






You will HATE WDSC if you put your workspace on the network.  There is a
boat load of IO happening for nearly ever thing you do while in RSE.  I 
know
because I backup my workspace to another computer using a tool called
SmartSync and it only transfers the changed files, and there are a lot of
them each time it runs during the day.

BTW, SmartSync is an excellent (and cheap - $35) way to backup your
workspaces.  I just put everything that would be a pain to lose in a 
folder
called "My Projects" and then sync that entire folder to another machine. 
I
have been using it for a couple years now and am VERY satisfied with it
(satisfied = it doesn't break and it isn't a pain in the butt).  The best
feature is you get to pick the time when it syncs.  I sync twice a day I
think.

Say, what happens to my workspace, when I lose my harddrive where my
workspace is stored.  I guess I'm answering my own question, put it on the
network?

Is that what most of you are doing?
