TIPS

1.Backup devices are affected by the media type. For most backup devices the right media and density can greatly affect the capacity and speed of your save or restore operation. USE THE RIGHT MEDIA FOR YOUR BACKUP DEVICE. (i.e. Use a 25 GB tape cartridge in a 25 GB drive).

2.A Backup and Recovery Management System such as BRMS/400 is recommended to keep track of the data and make the most of multiple backup devices.
