Re: HMC Save Critical Console Data

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

That may be another option in the future for us (still want to get this one
working on the brand new HMC, though)... how sizable are these particular
backups usually?

I have had issues but it has been a *LONG time, like early in the V4
code stream of HMC. Of course I don't back up to DVD very often any
longer I use the 'back up to remote server' option and push it to a
i5/OS partition and/or to my laptop.  If it gets to i5/OS then it gets
backed up to tape later.
