36. SAVSYSINF and RSTSYSINF Considerations
Base SAVSYS Required
SAVSYSINF Not Replacement for SAVSYS
*ALLOBJ or *SAVSYS Special Authority Required
Can’t be Used For
Restoring to Another Existing System
System Upgrades or Migrations
Intended for Customers Who
Can’t Bring System to Restricted State for SAVSYS
Can’t Take Down Time for SAVSYS
PTF Save Files Must Remain on System Until Next SAVSYS
Do Not Run Delete Program Temporary FIX (DLTPTF) Command Unless
Right Before SAVSYS
Right After SAVSYS
Installing PTFs Default is NOT to Restore Save Files
Change System Default CPYPTF(*YES) on CHGSRVA Command or
Use CPYPTF(*YES) in INSPTF Command Consistently
Increases System Recovery Time and Complexity
SAVSYS and SAVSYSINF Needs to be Recovered
RSTSYSINF Additional Step per Backup and Recovery Checklists
It is recommended that a save of the entire system including a SAVSYS be done in restricted state. This can be accomplished by performing a Go Save Option 21, a combination of an Option 22 and 23, or by using the equivalent functions within BRMS.

37. SAVSYSINF Backup Strategy
After Base SAVSYS, Perform these Commands to Save System Changes
SAVLIB LIB(*IBM)
SAV OBJ(('/QIBM/ProdData') ('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData')) UPDHST(*YES)
SAVSYSINF
Commands to Save User Data
SAVSECDTA
SAVCFG
SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR)
SAVDLO DLO(*ALL) FLR(*ANY)
SAV OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB‘ *OMIT) ('/QDLS‘ *OMIT) (/‘QIBM/ProdData’ *OMIT) (/’QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData’ *OMIT)) UPDHST(*YES)
This command saves the system information to the save file named SAVF in library QGPL. The save file will be cleared automatically. Information about what was saved will be written to the first member of the file name OUTPUT in library QGPL. The file and member will be created if they do not exist.

38. Add Additional Tape Devices for Concurrent Saves/Restores

BE CAREFUL if Switching from Save Menu Options to Save Commands!
Save Menu Options Default to Save Access Paths
Save Commands do not Default to Save Access Paths (V5R2 or prior releases)

41. Concurrent Saves and Restores with BRMS
Run Multiple BRMS Backup Control Groups Concurrently
Submit Multiple Save/Restore Jobs to Multiple Tape Devices
