RE:BRMS and disaster recovery

[Nick Franco <franco.nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Loyd,

I think you've hit the nail on the head. We know how to run the reports, but 
didn't know if there was a way to exclude libraries on the BRMS restore.
On the report, it shows that to recover to a specific day, it lists all the 
user libraries, including production libraries, as coming from the full
system tape, and then it shows the production libraries coming from the daily 
backup tape. We only want to restore the production libraries once, but
didn't know if there was a way to exclude them from the restore of the full 
system tape. Thanks for your help.

Nick Franco
