RE: Automating Copy Disk Backup to Tape

["Dave Lauderdale" <DLAUDERDALE@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

We have a post-backup routine that does a savlib of AMSLIB.  We initialize the 
tape as part of this process and include other libraries and objects as well.  
It works well, although it does NOT call a MAPICS program to do this backup.

Subject: Automating Copy Disk Backup to Tape


Does anyone run the "Copy Disk Backup to Tape" program (or is it even
possible to do?) from another program instead of having to run it
manually? I was thinking this way you have the benefit of a quick backup
to disk and then in the post backup program submit to batch the copy to
tape routine so it doesn't stop MAPICS coming out of dedicated mode (as
if you where doing a direct backup to tape) and if the copy to tape job
errors it doesn't hose up MAPICS all together.

Thanks,
-Jimmy
