An Introduction to the AS/400 / iSeries / i5 Mid-Range System (Backup and Recovery)
Rama Krishna 1 Thommandra
Introduction
To backup is to copy some or all of a computer’s software to a storage location independent of the computer.
2
Introduction
To restore is to copy that remotely stored data back onto the computer and be able to use it.
3
Reasons to Backup
Object failure:
Most common reason. Objects deleted or damaged or corrupted.
System failure:
Less common. Power lost or disk units fail etc.
4
Reasons to Backup
Site movement:
Company moves from one computer to another. Common for disaster recovery.
Efficiently save infrequently used information:
Large objects take up disk space infrequently used. Site loss. Extremely rare. Flood, fire, riots, etc
5
Copy Vs. Save
Copy command:
Two copies of the file. Accessed at any time. Could be lost if disk problem. Data files cannot be accessed except by restore. Object header updated. Off-site security.
6
Save command:
6 Object Categories
Operating objects:
MULIC/FULIC, Microcode.
7
6 Object Categories
System objects:
OS/400 licensed program, User profiles, Private authorities, Device configuration, System and network values.
8
6 Object Categories
Support objects:
System libraries required normal operation, Compiler, Utilities.
9
6 Object Categories
Production objects:
Data files, Data areas, Job descriptions, Program, Objects running applications.
10
6 Object Categories
Development objects:
Source files.
End-user objects:
Data associated with applications.
11
Backup Media
In general, objects can be saved to:
Magnetic tape. DASD (through a save file). Diskette. Another AS/400. Optical Media. Save file (object type *SAVF).

Save-while-active
Object saved while being accessed (even updated) by users. Creates checkpoint image of the file being saved. File image is captured, and save made.
51
Save-while-active
Only available on these save commands:
SAVLIB SAVOBJ SAVCHGOBJ SAV
52
How Save-while-active Works
Relies on Internal set of checkpoints. Internal to applications updating the files. Define the boundaries of a transaction.
53
Things Not Saved
Trouble when saving their contents are:
Contents of queues. Queues saved but not contents. AS/400 queues are:
• • • • • • • Data Job Message Output User Two lists held within journals. Logical files Sometimes save files (*savf)

Restores
RST—Restores objects from the Integrated File System (IFS). RSTLIB—Restores one or more libraries. RSTOBJ—Restores one or more objects from one or more libraries. RSTLICPGM—Restores saved licensed programs.
59
Restores
Security restores:
RSTAUT—Restores authorizations. RSTCFG—Restores configurations. RSTUSRPRF—Restores user profiles.

Backup Strategies
Any backup strategy consists of:
Goals/deliverables:
• How much time will be spent each day/week/month doing backups? • In the event of a disaster requiring recovering some or all of the system, how long can the users wait?
Plans:
• How long will backups be kept? • How many generations of backups will be kept? • Where will the backup media be kept and how accessible is it? • If the computer is destroyed, where and how quickly will another be available?
62
Backup Strategies
Activities:
Save the entire system on a regular basis. Save libraries. Save objects. Save changed objects. Save documents library objects. Save distribution objects associated with mail. Contract for a standby AS/400.
63
Backup Strategies
Verification:
Is everything really available on the backup media? Is the media in good condition or is it getting worn from too much use? If the media is stored off-site (it usually is), is it obtainable during off-hours?
64
Verify Backup Strategy
Four points:
Are the planned saves completing? Surprisingly, too many companies go for months with failed saves. Are the objects that are intended to be saved in fact getting saved? For example, are all user libraries really getting saved? How about all libraries containing source code? All developers’ libraries? Are the save tapes readable? Is the tape drive in good condition?

An Introduction to the AS/400 / iSeries / i5 Mid-Range System (Backup and Recovery)
Rama Krishna 1 Thommandra
Introduction
To backup is to copy some or all of a computer’s software to a storage location independent of the computer.
2
Introduction
To restore is to copy that remotely stored data back onto the computer and be able to use it.
3
Reasons to Backup
Object failure:
Most common reason. Objects deleted or damaged or corrupted.
System failure:
Less common. Power lost or disk units fail etc.
4
Reasons to Backup
Site movement:
Company moves from one computer to another. Common for disaster recovery.
Efficiently save infrequently used information:
Large objects take up disk space infrequently used. Site loss. Extremely rare. Flood, fire, riots, etc
5
Copy Vs. Save
Copy command:
Two copies of the file. Accessed at any time. Could be lost if disk problem. Data files cannot be accessed except by restore. Object header updated. Off-site security.
6
Save command:
6 Object Categories
Operating objects:
MULIC/FULIC, Microcode.
7
6 Object Categories
System objects:
OS/400 licensed program, User profiles, Private authorities, Device configuration, System and network values.
8
6 Object Categories
Support objects:
System libraries required normal operation, Compiler, Utilities.
9
6 Object Categories
Production objects:
Data files, Data areas, Job descriptions, Program, Objects running applications.
10
6 Object Categories
Development objects:
Source files.
End-user objects:
Data associated with applications.
11
Backup Media
In general, objects can be saved to:
Magnetic tape. DASD (through a save file). Diskette. Another AS/400. Optical Media. Save file (object type *SAVF).

Save-while-active
Object saved while being accessed (even updated) by users. Creates checkpoint image of the file being saved. File image is captured, and save made.
51
Save-while-active
Only available on these save commands:
SAVLIB SAVOBJ SAVCHGOBJ SAV
52
How Save-while-active Works
Relies on Internal set of checkpoints. Internal to applications updating the files. Define the boundaries of a transaction.
53
Things Not Saved
Trouble when saving their contents are:
Contents of queues. Queues saved but not contents. AS/400 queues are:
• • • • • • • Data Job Message Output User Two lists held within journals. Logical files Sometimes save files (*savf)

Backup Strategies
Any backup strategy consists of:
Goals/deliverables:
• How much time will be spent each day/week/month doing backups? • In the event of a disaster requiring recovering some or all of the system, how long can the users wait?
Plans:
• How long will backups be kept? • How many generations of backups will be kept? • Where will the backup media be kept and how accessible is it? • If the computer is destroyed, where and how quickly will another be available?
62
Backup Strategies
Activities:
Save the entire system on a regular basis. Save libraries. Save objects. Save changed objects. Save documents library objects. Save distribution objects associated with mail. Contract for a standby AS/400.
63
Backup Strategies
Verification:
Is everything really available on the backup media? Is the media in good condition or is it getting worn from too much use? If the media is stored off-site (it usually is), is it obtainable during off-hours?
64
Verify Backup Strategy
Four points:
Are the planned saves completing? Surprisingly, too many companies go for months with failed saves. Are the objects that are intended to be saved in fact getting saved? For example, are all user libraries really getting saved? How about all libraries containing source code? All developers’ libraries? Are the save tapes readable? Is the tape drive in good condition?
