RE: BRMS Backup Strategy and Implementation

Rob,

We do something similar on a daily basis, via AJS(5761JS1) auto emailed via INFOPRINT Server (5722IP1). all through BRMS maintenance.
Both these products were chargeable in the past, but now I believe are NC.
BRMS maintenance is scary with all the options.

Every day we also a WRKJOBSCDE entry:

-----Schedule------ Recovery
Job Status Date Time Frequency Action
BRMRECOVER SCD USER DEF 07:30:00 *WEEKLY *NOSBM

This basically does a
OVRPRTF FILE(QP1ARCY) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) TOSTMF(&QP1ARCY) WSCST(*PDF)

OVRPRTF FILE(QP1A2RCY) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) TOSTMF(&QP1A2RCY) WSCST(*PDF)

STRRCYBRM OPTION(*SYSTEM) ACTION(*REPORT)

DLTOVR FILE(QP1ARCY)

DLTOVR FILE(QP1A2RCY)

and takes these resultant PDF files and copies them to several different windows based servers around the globe. Therefore we can recover our system using the BRMS reports.
Requires 5770TS1 be loaded to create the PDF files. It's a freebie.
