QUESTION POSED ON: 19 July 2001
I would like to use one of my six iSeries as a backup server for the five others. What is the best method to transfer libraries from the five iSeries to the sixth?

>

There are plenty of methods. One of them is to use the ability of the iSeries to "zip" (or compress) data. To do so, you may want to use save files. To do so, do SAVLIBs. Contrarily to SAVLIB to tape, you cannot save more than one library per save file. Here is a way to proceed:

- Get a list of libraries to save

- Create a save file with the same name as the library you want to save.(you may create it in QTEMP).

- Save the library to the save file (using DTACPR(*YES) if you wish to "zip" the data).

- Use SAVRSTOBJ to "back-up" the save file to the distant system. The best is to use 1 library on the back-up system for each system that does back ups like this.

- Delete the save file

- Start again with the next library
