RE: AS400 Backup, Daily vs. Monthly

Shawn,

I checked our values under workstation types and there were two values *CONS 
and *ALL.  This means that the console and all workstations meeting the "Name"

If I end Qinter and the job fails is there anyway to get logged in to
make changes and start anything without being at the console.  We have
remote access to our box so I'm usually running my backups from home.
