Dale, I would like to see it.

That makes things MUCH simpler. If you can do a backup to disk, then a later
save of the backup to tape, you should (emphasis on "should") be able to get the
XA backup done over a lunch break. I've been able to.

BTW - if you want, I can provide a quick save of the backup to tape that can be
added to the post-backup process, or placed in the job scheduler (which is how I
usually did it). Very easy.

Well, it looks like we are going to go with the offline mode of the data
collection software so I will be able to have some time to get the
dedicated backup. Yay! We are a solution by Integrated Barcoding
Systems. Thanks,

Barb,

Just how "24/7" do you actually have to be? I ask this because I know of
many
3 shift organizations that are nominally 24/7, but actually do a backup
each
night during 3rd shift lunch break. For example, if you use COM_Net and
MDCC,
both applications stay up for the users, but the transactions simply don't
post
until after the XA backups are completed. Ditto with non-XA applications,
for
example two of my accounts have add-on, in-house written IM transactions
done
through green-screen data collection, but those transactions simply wait
until
the backups are done.

This sounds interesting. I may have to try it. We do have source code
for XA.
