Re: tape backup

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,
The other overhead that option 21 has is very important.  Here it is:
SAV        DEV(yourdevice)     
           OBJ(('/*')         
           ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT)
           ('/QDLS' *OMIT))

To backup 7 gigabytes on 8mm takes us from 8:00pm to Midnight.
So about 4 hours for 7 gigabytes on one tape.

It doesn't really matter how big your hard drive is, but how much of
it is used.  If your 14.55 gig is about 50% usage, it should take about
4 hours.

That is how long it takes on our system, your system may be different.

Also, this is using SAVSYS, SAVOBJ (*NOSYS), SAVDLO.  Not
sure what additional overhead option 21 may have.

Regards,

Jim Langston
