RE: Backup using Save Files

It's just been pointed out to me that there was a typo in the URL for my
utility (thanks for the heads up Jerry).  The correct address should be:

        www.astradyne-uk.com/download.htm

I have a utility I've been using for a long time which incorporates the
ability to save to save files into the RUNBCKUP command.  It's available to
download at www.astradyne-uk.com/downloads.htm

Just tried it and it was pretty adamant about only one library per save 
file.


Out of curiosity, what happens to the save files after they are created?

I create save files of all of our production libraries every night and 
push them to our backup i5 where they are both stored until the next 
night, and backed up to tape.
