The SAV is generally used to save all of the IFS (Now called HFS??)
information on your system. This would include the installed directories
and HFS systems including any custom HFS systems you may have created. I
would think that unless you are installing executable objects, or
modifying parameters for the Web server(s), the impact should be
minimal. If you are using your system as a file server, or for e-mail or
other nominal IFS/HFS services, it could impact the configuration of
those services.
On the other front, using the RST command, objects can be restored based
on a number of parameters just like the RSTOBJ command. The linking,
ownership and authorities could be impacted. There are no documents that
really detail this, but it can be derived from the output of the RST
command detailed in appendix 1.5.1.4 of the OS/400 Backup and Recovery
V4R5 (SC41-5304-04) located in the AS/400 library.
Based on what I know and can derive from the documents that I have
found, the ownership of objects, authorities, ASP (If your system is
partitioned into multiple ASP's) can be changed by the system or
overwritten. Additionally, link definitions can be impacted (however
unlikely this may be). The easiest way to determine the overall impact
this operation can have is an old trick of looking at all of the
possible error messages. They usually indicate how bad it could get.
