1) Are your weekly and daily saves dedicated, SWA, or other? 2) Do you intentional omit any library objects and/or IFS objects? I did a similar test back in May 2013. 1) Missed and locked objects from the save were was the main reason for recovery issues. 2) Recovery of IFS from an IFS changed object save also had issues.

We will be using BRMS Recovery script for the first time. I have a couple of questions in regards to the BRMS recovery script if anyone would like to share their expertise it would be very much appreciated. Background: We are on V7.1 Cume TL14283 and TR 9 Our recovery strategy includes 3 media tapes: (as we do not perform *savsys nightly) and yes we save our access paths with each save. 1. *savsys (monthly) entire system save Media: SI0176 2. *savlib (weekly) Media: SI0159 3. *savchgobj (daily cumulative) Media: SI0009 Questions: 1. Update System Name in the BRMS Media Information step: In a DR test and restoring from savsys would the local network and default local location on the new test system be the same anyway or am I missing something ? 2. In the step of :Recover Required System Libraries: (snapshot below) Can I select all 6 selections below all at once even though the media switches back and forth weekly to daily at each library and the fact that daily is a *Cuml type. Is BRMS smart enough to do the savlib and savchgobj restore. Or does it make sense for me to only select just the weekly ones first then does the screen come back to be able to select the daily ones (speed perspective) so not to have to unload tape media so often ? (Embedded image moved to file: pic27901.gif) 3. Has anyone used the Recover Media sets concurrently step ? Pros/Cons 4. If I don’t use the Concurrent option, do most people Recover All Remaining System and User data at this point (then jump to the Recover Directories and Files as the script says) Or would you recommend doing the more separated BRMS recovery script steps by “Recover IBM Product Libraries, then Recover user Libraries, then Recover Documents Library Objects then get to the recover Directories and Files) ? Any tips/gotchas or recommendations ?
