Re: Restore QSPL to get back spool files

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Technically, the jukebox isn't required to backup the spool files.  Just 
software that will make sure that your spoolfile contains all necessary 
data, including overlays, page segments, PC generated spool files, and the 
like.  The jukebox is just a choice of media to store it on.  Perhaps the 
software you looked at only supported the jukebox.  That was all the rage 
when it came to storing image files awhile back.  One feature being that 
it could be legally proven that an image file could be written to it, and 
not modified after original creation to 'modify' some report data.

Re: Restore QSPL to get back spool files






Thanks a lot for all the answers. I had suggested that we might not be 
able
to retrieve the deleted spool files. The PM contends that he has restored
QSPL before, IBM is very iffy about this procedure. Just wanted to know if
there was any truth to the suggestion.

Unfortunately this is a situation where the users are not ready to lay out
the money for a reasonable jukebox for backing spool files to, and when 
they
are not available, it becomes mission-critical.

Thanks a lot again.
