Ah, the beauty of actually being able to test something! <grin> Glad you found a solution. I had missed the "new" SG part until Dave pointed it out.
I have been spoiled by being in XRC environments for the last 6 years. The best restore is no restore. Ditto for the incrementals.

We figured out that the Auto Backup parameter in the Storage group left in inactive and the Backup parameter in the Management class set to "Y" will give us the ability to run scheduled incrementals of the packs we want.. sorry to be such a bother .. but I think this will work for us .. I have tested recover to see how long the incremental recovery would take after the full volumes have been restored and it is quite fast. thanks for your help . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html LEGAL DISCLAIMER The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
