The following 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 server. The restore storage
process is an easy and fast method for restoring the data for an entire server.
- 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.
