RE: Automating Copy Disk Backup to Tape

Jim,

We have done complete restores of test environments using this method without 
any problems.  We generally do NOT do complete restores of production 
environments, but we will restore AMSLIB to the system under another name (e.g. 
AMSLIBZ) then do selective restores of files from the SAVF.  This works well 
and is exactly the same as if you were to restore selective objects from the 
disk backup in AMSLIB.  All the data areas are saved in AMSLIB along with 
AMTLIB and AMFLIB.

Now have you ever had to restore from it? I figured MAPICS would pull
some trickery (changes to a dtaara, etc) in how they go about the save
that would prevent conventional save and restore of AMSLIBx.

Jim,

We have a post-backup routine that does a savlib of AMSLIB.  We
initialize the tape as part of this process and include other libraries
and objects as well.  It works well, although it does NOT call a MAPICS
program to do this backup.

Does anyone run the "Copy Disk Backup to Tape" program (or is it even
possible to do?) from another program instead of having to run it
manually? I was thinking this way you have the benefit of a quick backup
to disk and then in the post backup program submit to batch the copy to
tape routine so it doesn't stop MAPICS coming out of dedicated mode (as
if you where doing a direct backup to tape) and if the copy to tape job
errors it doesn't hose up MAPICS all together.

Thanks,
-Jimmy
