------------------------------------<snip>-------------------------------
We have had several occurrences of needing both dumps and archived
syslog/operlog data from several months in the past. As you stated tape
is cheap and I would much rather have it and not need it than the reverse.
----------------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------
I'm curious; are you using an automated process to get SYSLOG to tape?
We use an automatic command to close the current log and open a new one
every night at midnight, but we've never been able to completely
automate the process of saving it to tape. Also, we like to keep seven
calendar days' worth on the spool, for SDSF searches, etc. If we could
save it to tape in a completely automated fashion, and restore to a
sequential dataset when needed, our regulators and auditors would be
ECSTATIC.
