RE: Automating backups

Dale,
        We do out backups at 2 AM and it does a whole lot after the regular 
backups
by backing other libraries and such bringing down out traffic system to back
it up the restarting it all the while holding the Tape in position. I
suppose something could be added at the end to do the DSPTAP and then unload
the tape instead of just unloading the tape

Subject: Automating backups






Hi everyone,

Our Sarbannes-Oxley auditor is requiring that we store a DSPTAP of our
MAPICS backups with each tape.  Currently, we run an unattended MAPICS
backup to disk (for speed) during the 3rd shift lunch break (3am).  Then
during 1st shift, I run the MAPICS "Save disk backup to tape" option.  Then
I have to reload the tape and do a DSPTAP *PRINT to satisfy the SARBOX
people.

Unfortunately, the "Save disk backup to tape" is interactive only, and it
auto-ejects the tape at the end, which precludes me from using Robot to do
that portion (I have to reload the tape to get the DSPTAP printout).

I asked the response line what that option does and was told to either do a
SAVLIB of AMSLIB, or SAVOBJ of the various objects in AMSLIB (AMFBCKM,
AMTBCKM, yadda, yadda), but that doesn't give me the same thing that I get
when I manually run the "Save disk backup to tape".

Has anyone on this thread written their own version of the "Save disk
backup to tape"?
