What do you mean by that? I can't think of an example or a reason. >>You are right, though. Using SMP you can go back only to the >>previously ACCEPTed maintenance level.

An alternative to backup and restore is to clone the target and distribution zone, though perhaps Radoslaw might not like doing it that way. There is a lot that can be accomplished with a clone. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
