Re: Backup sanity check

AFAIK, the default for all save operations is SEQNBR(*END)..

So even if the tape rewinds, you shouldn't be overwriting the production
save.

My
thought was to change ENDOPT to *LEAVE for he last production
library that is saved. Then just vary off the tape drive
from the production LPAR, vary the tape drive on in the TEST
LPAR

Vary off on the production LPAR will cause the tape to rewind.
You will need the final sequence number in order for the test
LPAR to save at the end of the previously used tape. Otherwise,
you will likely over write the contents of your production LPAR
save with the test LPAR save.
