What objects to save and their location on i5/OS

Many objects are created as a result of installing Windows environment for iSeries™. Some of these objects are system-related, others user-related. You need to save them all if you want to restore properly. You can save these objects by using options of the i5/OS™ GO SAVE command. Option 21 saves the entire system. Option 22 saves system data. Option 23 saves all user data (which includes objects in QFPNWSSTG).

If you want to save a particular object, use one of the following tables to see the location of that object on i5/OS and the command to use. The topic "Manually saving parts of your system" has more information about using the save commands. In addition to saving the entire drive (storage space), you can also save and restore individual files and directories. See Back up individual integrated Windows server files and directories.
