Hi All,

I'm not a computer/software specialist. Only a user of BPCS.

I've often wondered why the ATMs installed by banks do not stop for allowing
daily back ups of the banks' servers. Or, does the daily back-up happen at a
time when any customer is least likely to use an ATM?

I've been using ATMs for almost four years now - they're relatively a new
thing in India's developing economy - and never ever seen any 'Please Wait.
Daily Back-up in Progress' or 'Account presently not accessible due to
back-up' display on the screens.

AS/400s, I believe, are the mainstay of most banks. If so, why do we BPCS
users have to sign-off for a set period every night for taking back-ups and
not the ATM users?

Isn't there some way that on-line entries on shop-floors be continued while
the back-up goes on? The entries keyed in during back-up time can be stored
in/as temporary files and be updated in the system once the back-up is over.
Is such a thing possible?

Any comments please.
