RE: Unattended full system backup

We also use a CL-program waiting on the console to start a restricted backup
ending in an IPL (which does signoff the console). Most of the tapehandling
is taken care of. (using a 3570 tapelibrary)
In some very special case the tapedrive is sending a message to the console,
but this rearly happens, killing the backup and starting QCTL starts
everything within 15 minutes.

All my systems with adequate backupwindows this every workingday!

The tape operator places the tapes and start the program, this includes
automatic skipping of holidays.

We use an interactive program at the system console (twinax) that wakes up
at 2 a.m., places the system in a restricted state, performs a full backup,
restarts subsystem QCTL, and then signs itself off.  It's been working for
many years now without a hitch.  If you're interested, I'll send you the CL
source.
