This was the 1st thing I was taught (back in 1972). Cover you’re A** That being said, I have never needed to use the backup. I have had to reconstruct some minor issues, but did not need to go to the backups.
However recovery of the entire SMP/E environment would be a *MAJOR PITA*. It would probably be faster to re-install from a CBPDO than to recover. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jesse 1 Robinson Sent: Wednesday, July 3, 2019 1:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SMPE ACCEPT options So, all you chronic backer uppers, how many times have you resorted to restoring the whole shebang? Just wondering... . .

In my case, the entire SMP/e ENV is on one volume, so I just use df/dss. Any method that works for the backup is acceptable. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bill Giannelli Sent: Wednesday, July 3, 2019 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SMPE ACCEPT options But first!!!!! Sooooo, before running an accept w/o check, I should backup my CSI? Should I do that "within" SMPE? Or can I just use idcams to backup my CSI cluster? thanks Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
