In addition to the control groups that process backups,
BRMS provides a variety of commands that allow you to save particular
groups of information while using BRMS. These save commands are sometimes
similar to the i5/OS save
commands. You should, however, use BRMS rather than i5/OS commands because BRMS saves the media content,
and library and object detail information that is essential for recovery.
Following is a summary of the other BRMS save commands you can
use:
SAVBRM
The Save BRMS command allows you to save
Integrated File System objects.
SAVDLOBRM
The Save DLO using BRM command allows you to save documents in
the document library (QDOC).
SAVFLRLBRM
The Save Folder List command using BRM command allows you to
save backup folder lists.
SAVLIBBRM
The Save Library using BRM command allows you to save a copy
of one or more libraries.
SAVMEDIBRM
The
Save Media Information using BRM command saves a copy of the information
compiled by BRMS on each saved item.
SAVOBJBRM
The Save Object using BRM command saves a copy of one or more
objects.
SAVOBJLBRM
The Save Object List using BRMS command saves backup object lists.
SAVSAVFBRM
The Save Save Files using BRM command saves save files that were
created during BRMS processing to tape.
SAVSYSBRM
The Save System using BRM command allows you to save a copy of
the operating system library in a format compatible with the installation
process. It does not save objects from any other library.
When used to perform backup functions, these commands do not automatically
save the recovery data or media information in the QUSRBRM library.
After completing one of these commands, you need to save media information
with the Save Media Information using BRM (SAVMEDIBRM) command.
Notes:
Do not use these commands with an *EXIT in a control group as
the results may be unpredictable.
If you have processed any backups to save files, you must run
the Save Save Files using BRM (SAVSAVFBRM) command with the appropriate
control group. Run the SAVMEDIBRM command after the SAVSAVFBRM command
and then print new recovery reports.
If you use a media policy that has encryption enabled
on any of these save commands, that instructs BRMS to encrypt the
data on the save command. BRMS will then encrypt the data, as long
as it meets the required eligibility for encryption.
