RE: iSeries more stable than NT? Who says? -- MIDRANGE-L

There's an ad in this weeks Computerworld showing five 9's and the Brooklyn
Bridge.  This is very appropriate, because anybody that could believe that
would be capable of buying the Brooklyn Bridge.

On an unrelated topic, I hear that Anne Lucas of IBM has been put in charge
of iSeries Nation.  Anne is a good person, and is capable of jump starting
this thing.

Don,

Umm, sorry but a backup that won't restore isn't a "good full system state
backup." What backup software were you using? Do you attempt restores in
the
lab?

Dave,

I just had a major multi user win-2k pro desktop nuke it's registry... we
had several GOOD FULL SYSTEM STATE backups.  NONE, and I mean NONE would
restore...we could not get the registry or the user profile info to
restore correctly...we were in RELOAD...and I hear this is NOT an
anomoly.....

I was really pissed!

Yeah, it's alot more stable than 95 and 98...but...it still locks up.
