Re: *** ADMIN: It's upgrade time :)

Take your backup tape from any iSeries (or AS/400 or S/38), from any
version of the software, from any version of the hardware.

Now restore it on any other iSeries (with OS release at or greater
than the release it was saved at).  Your data will be fine.  And if
your program is observable, your program will be converted and will
run.

Restore your saved OS on any machine with compatible hardware (ie
CISC to CISC, RISC to RISC), and it will load and run.  It doesn't
matter that you have more or fewer disks, more or fewer comm lines,
etc. etc.

Try -that- on a Windoze machine!
