We are doing a MAPICS backup to disk each evening and then saving the savf
off to tape later. 
We also save (by using the post backup procedure) user libraries each night.
We are a 24/6 (no sundays) shop and have carved out 1/2 hour each day (at
5:30pm) for the mapics saves to disk.

Subject: To Mapics backup or not to Mapics backup?


Hello Everyone,

We're realitvely new to Mapics, and have had heard conflicting
information on whether or not to use the Mapics backup...

The affliate that was doing the implementaion for one of our
companies told us not to use the Mapics backup and even
went so far as to set up a SAVLIB scheduled job to save the Mapics
libraries. Previous to that we were just using the AS/400 Backup
which they told us wouldn't work for Mapics.

After attending a Mapics class. last week I found out that
we should be doing a Mapics backup, because the stuff
from doing a SAVLIB was useless.

So how are people doing a nightly backup of the Mapics data?

And how can you run a 24x7 shop (which will have to do when we
get the other company running on Mapics) when you need to end
QINTER to do a Mapics Backup (or the SAVLIB that we're
currently doing for that matter?)
