Backup and recovery of configuration and share information

iSeries NetServer™ uses files in the integrated file system to store configuration values and share entries. You should back up these files every time that you save the entire iSeries system and each time you change the administration of iSeries NetServer. In addition, plan the frequency of your save operations carefully to ensure that you always have a usable backup available if your system should fail.

The location of the iSeries NetServer configuration and share data files on the iSeries system is: /QIBM/UserData/OS400/NetServer. The specific files that are needed include:

Qazlscfg: Contains configuration information.
Qazlsshr: Contains share information.
Qazlsextxxx: Contains text conversion information for a file share, where xxx is a file share name.

Note:

The following directory should be backed up if iSeries NetServer is configured as a Logon Server: /QIBM/UserData/OS400/NetServer/NetLogon.
