Thanks again for the reply. My iSeries is backed up nightly with BRMS so that is good.

What are you trying to backup? Once you have your source in Jazz Team Server for i, the master copy of the source should be kept there. As an administrator or the developer you update the source locally on your PC and deliver it to the Jazz Team Server for i. The repository is on IBM i where the Jazz Team Server for i is running. It is indeed a library (schema) that you specified in the teamserver.properties file when setting up the server on IBMi. You can backup this library using the Repository Tools Application (aka repotools) which is installed as part of the server installation under repository directory. You can find more information on this on jazz.net. If you have installed RDi and selected RTCi as an optional install, you can search for repotools in the help as well.

Thanks for clarifying that relationship. As for what needs to be backed up given what you just wrote, is my understanding correct (as follows) given my setup? I am both the administrator and one of the developers for the project. I have two separate userIds and two separate RDi workspaces on the same PC. As the administrator, once I "Accept All Incoming Baselines and Change Sets", is it the administrator's RDi workspace that has just been updated and should therefore be backed up? Or per the "Backup before replace" task, to backup the administrator's workspace first?

I don't understand the question. If you are looking at the Pending changes view and see incoming changes, then this means that the iProject that you have locally on your PC (in your local workspace) and is shared in Jazz Team Server for i, was changed by a team member(s). By accepting the changes, you will update the iProject on your PC with these changes - meaning that the contents of the iProject that you have locally will match what's in the Team Stream on the Jazz Team Server for i. This has nothing to do with what's in your library on IBM i.

Pending Changes "Backup before replace". I am new to Concert for i and I can't determine if I'm being told that I must make a backup of my library before I "Accept All Incoming Baselines and Change Sets" OR if Concert will do it for me. I've searched all the help I can find and I don't see anything about it. Any suggestions?

Along the same lines....

RPG NEXT GEN - Freebie RPG Editor which is under development at the moment.
http://www.rpgnextgen.com

"RPG Next Gen Editor is a lightweight RPG editor solely based on the Eclipse platform. It has some basic plugins which among other things provide a tree view on the QSYS filesystem. The focus for the editor lies on small size and speed. The goal for this project is a feature complete RPG free-format editor which can be used to develop small to midsized projects for even the most advanced programming style"

I've been playing with this the last few days and it shows promise...
