Also, if you need to keep the spool files you could use something like
BRMS or other third-party products to accomplish this. With BRMS, though,
there is a 70-day grace period. If this proves useful then you may decide
to purchase the product. You will need to load both MSE and BRMS to try
this out and there could be some other issues with your backups as BRMS
will add some exit points - don't just install it without considering some
of those possible issues.

Re: Upgrading disks






Mark,
Do a full system save (save-21).  The savstg probably won't restore after
you change the config.  I have seen shops with a savstg and think they
have
a usable backup of their system.  Unless they're going back to the exact
configuration, they're wrong.

If this is a complete replacement of disk, I'd do a save-21, then
carefully
label the old disk, so as to be able to put them back exactly as they are
now, lay them aside, replace the disk, load the box clean and do a
restore-21.  If everything goes wrong, you can still put it back like it
is
now.
