Disaster Alert!

on’t forget, if you are using OS/400 V3R1, V3R2, V3R6, or V3R7, you must add the new SAV command (yes, SAV – it’s not a typo) to your entire system backup procedures. Option 21 on the SAVE menu executes this new command. Your full system backup should consist of the following commands:


SAVSYS DEV(tap01)
SAVLIB *NONSYS DEV(tap01) ACCPTH(*YES)
SAVDLO *ALL DEV(tap01)
SAV 	   ((‘/QSYS.LIB’ *OMIT) +
	   (‘/QDLS’ *OMIT) +
	   (‘/*’ *INCLUDE)) +
	   DEV(‘/QSYS.LIB/tap01.DEVD’)

Without all of these new commands, you may not be able to restore your entire system at all; at best, you will experience lengthy delays.You will probably agree that the last thing you need is to encounter additional delays during your disaster recovery procedure.

Conclusion: Review your procedures now!
