RE: Automating backups




We used to run the MAPICS backup, but it was taking too long.  Now we run
our own that does an save-while-active.  QINTER is down for about 2 minutes
while the SWA does its thing to get in sync.  At the end we do a dsptap to
show what was backed up.  We have a 3581 tape drive, it is awesome!!!

We do the MAPICS pre/post backup routines within the CL that does the SWA.

Dale you said "doesn't give me the same thing that I get when I manually
run the "Save disk backup to tape"."

What is different about it?  Could you modify it to be the same?
