Re: APYJRNCHG

Forget using your journal entries as a part of the restore.  On SAVCHGOBJ,
change the OBJJRN parameter from *NO (the default) to *YES.  SAVCHGOBJ was
created when journaling was a key part of OS/400's (then CPF's) save
restore strategy.

We are looking at shortening our backup downtime by going with SAVCHGOBJ.
Only problem is that we journal most of our files, which means we would
need
to restore from the SAVEALL, then run APYJRNCHG for the daily saves.  The
documentation says to expect a longer recovery time, but no estimates.

During our 'busy time', we create about 300,000 journal entries per day -
tables ranging from 150 bytes to over 800.

1.  Anybody have estimates (or an algorithm) on what the recovery time
would
be?  Looking more for those occasional 'restore to a temporary library to
check data' rather than a complete recovery.  If we ever need a reload, a
few hours here or there will be the least of my worries!

2.  Any 'tricks' or items to watch for using SAVCHGOBJ and APYJRNCHG?
Horror stories?

Thanks for your help.
