Purpose of saving storage

 

This information explains several purposes for saving storage.

• The processes for saving and restoring storage provide a one-step method for backing up and recovering the data on an entire system. The restore storage process is an easy and fast method for restoring the data for an entire system.

• The save storage media is for a complete system recovery, and you cannot use it to restore individual objects. You must complement a save storage approach with the SAVSYS, SAVLIB, SAVDLO, and SAV commands.

• To properly carry out a save storage approach, you should have multiple levels of your backup media.

• The save storage operation does not save disk sectors that are not used or that contain temporary data.
