Re: Long backup time after IPL

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This sounds like a problem we experienced on V3R2 with the IFS. After an
IPL we had one backup of portions of the IFS that went fron 3 or 4 hours
to 20-30 hours. If I recall there were some PTFs that helped but V4R4
(Moving to RISC) eliminated that particular problem.

What OS version are you on? What size system? What type of tape drive?
What is being saved (IFS, DLO, Tradational libraries and objects,
Security, Configuration, etc)?
