RE: Automating Copy Disk Backup to Tape [SPAM : scl = 4] [SPAM :scl[SPAM : scl = 5]= 5]

Willie,

I appreciate the information.  You do not need to talk to MAPICS support.  I 
was just wondering if changing the SAVCTL data are made any difference.  We do 
a save to disk each night and have a post-backup program that saves AMSLIB to 
tape.  We do not change any data areas or clear AMSLIB at that time.  Actually, 
our pre-backup program clears AMSLIB and initialzies the tape.  We leave AMSLIB 
on the system to give us the ability to quickly restore individual objects from 
AMFLIB or AMTLIB if we run into any problems during the day or need to recreate 
something from the prior day.  

David

David,
It has been a long time since we had to restore a file. If I remember 
correctly, we had to restore tape to save file and then do the MAPICS restore. 
The last time we called the MAPICS help line and they walked us through it. 
Sorry could not be of more help. If you want I could check and see what MAPICS 
says.
Willie..

Willie,

Does this have any effect on the restore function if you had to restore files 
from the tape?

Kevin,
It puts a 'T' to tell (fool) MAPICS that you have backup the MAPICS disk 
savefile to tape.  When you run a backup to disk and try another on, it asks if 
you want to replace the current one. This way MAPICS does not send message you 
the message. Then we clear the backup library (AMSLIB) and we are ready for the 
next day.

Here is a copy of the CL we use. This is scheduled to run early morning.
This set/resets everything so no action is required
and mapics is ready for next dave to disk. You could also run this
interactively from a memu option.
                                                    
 DSPPGMMSG  MSG('***AMSLIB SAVE STARTED')           
 CHGDTAARA  DTAARA(AMFLIB/ZSVCTL (8 1)) VALUE('T')  
 SAVLIB     LIB(AMSLIB) DEV(TAP02) ENDOPT(*LEAVE)   
 MONMSG     MSGID(CPF3794) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(TAPERR))
 CLRLIB     LIB(AMSLIB) /* */                       
 DSPPGMMSG  MSG('***MSM001 (AMSLIB) SAVE ENDED')    
        
TAPERR is a message break for the system operatior.

The disk backup-to-tape is not a dedicated function. That is one of the
advantages of running it to disk - it should take a lot less time and you do
not have to worry about a tape "failure" in the middle of the night.  If you
have any tape problems, you would be there to handle them.
