Re: FW: Backup to Disk

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Shawn,

I changed to backup to disk (away from backup to tape), and my backup
window shrank from 1 hour to 17 minutes.  That can be scheduled directly
from MAPICS.  I then do a regularly scheduled copy to tape using the
iSeries job scheduler (WRKJOBSCDE).  The CL to replicate MAPICS' Copy Disk
Backup to Tape is:

PGM

INZTAP     DEV(TAP04) NEWVOL(MSM001) NEWOWNID(FLTWOOD) +
             CHECK(*NO) /* Initialize tape */

SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/SVDTAABCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
             ENDOPT(*LEAVE)

SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/AMFBCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
             ENDOPT(*LEAVE) /* Save AMFLIB */

SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/AMTBCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
             ENDOPT(*LEAVE) /* Save AMTLIB */

SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(AMSLIB/ZSVCTLBCKM) DEV(TAP04) +
             ENDOPT(*REWIND)

DSPTAP     DEV(TAP04) OUTPUT(*PRINT) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) /* +
             Generate tape directory listing */

ENDPGM

The DSPTAP produces a tape catalog listing with date that satisfies our
SARBOX people.  TAP04 is my MagStar 3570 tape drive.

I'm assuming a backup to disk will save me considerable time vs. backup
to tape.  Thoughts?

Subject: Backup to Disk

I know that there is an option to backup to disk using the MAPICS
backup.  Is there a way to do a backup to an external storage  (NAS or
Windows file share) using some option or redirection of the normal
backup.



thanks
