GO SAVE: Option 23 (saving user data)

Option 23 saves all user data. This information includes files, records, and other data that your users supply into your system.

Option 23 puts your system into a restricted state. This means that no users can access your system, and the backup is the only thing that is running on your system.

Note: If you are saving information about independent disk pools, make sure that you have varied on the independent disk pools that you want to save before using option 23. For more information see Saving independent ASPs.

The command omits the QDLS file system because the SAVDLO command saves it. Menu option 23 also omits the /QIBM and /QOpenSys/QIBM directories because these directories contain IBM® supplied objects.
