Overview of the GO SAVE command

Use the GO SAVE command to save your entire system or parts of your system that change regularly.

Using the GO SAVE command is a simple way to make sure that you have a good backup of your entire system. The GO SAVE command presents you with Save menus to back up your system, no matter what backup strategy you decide to use. It is a good idea to use menu option 21 of the GO SAVE command right after you install your system.

Menu option 21 of the GO SAVE command is the basis for all save strategies. This option saves all the data on your system. After you use menu option 21, you can use other menu options to save parts of the system, or to use a manual save process.

Another save method uses Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS), which automates your save processes. BRMS provides a comprehensive solution for your backup and recovery needs.

Important: Be sure to permanently apply all Licensed Internal Code PTFs (fixes) before you use the SAVSYS command, or the GO SAVE menu option 21 or 22.

The following figure illustrates the commands and menu options that you can use to save the parts of the system and the entire system.
