I actually just wrote something quick to do it for me:-)  I am sooo
impatient sometimes.

Check it out at the following address...

Basically you pass in the server you want to pull source from along with
the
library and then an FTP server you want to send the code to in .zip
format
(basically I automated the full loop of putting it on a remote FTP
server
for offsite backup)

I will take a look at XMLPREVIEW. Thanks for responding.

Take a look at XMLPREVIEW....just google it.  Craig Rutledge wrote the
base
for XMLPREVIEW & Thomas Radditz created a PC app to interface with it.
It
works well.  I wrote a wrapper command around it so I could backup all
source file in one fell swoop.  Or you could take 5-10 mins & write a CL
program to use CPYTOSTMF for each source file member... 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

I am doing a lot more coding on different machines where I need to
ensure
the code gets backed up appropriately. To date I have been using WDSc to
go
into each source physical file and copy the contents of each to a folder
on
my local HD.

I know this isn't the norm for shops that have their own dedicated
server
that gets backed up every night and easy access is available for those
backups.  But for consultants and the like it is a necessary evil to
ensure
there is no code loss due to somebody waxing a library they though
wasn't
needed.

Here's what I am looking for: Does anybody know of a utility that could
auto-mate the process of backing up RPG source physical files on an
iSeries?
Something to the effect of being able to specify source and destination
directories.

I could write a small app in Java to do this via FTP in a couple hours,
but
didn't want to head that route if somebody already accomplished the task
and
was willing to share.

TIA,
Aaron Bartell
