Re: dbexport for backups

Despite admonitions to do otherwise, I've found that doing a backup with dbexport is useful in one of our cases. Our production machine runs Online (nee Turbo). However, the development box uses SE. We want to be in a position to, if necessary, load the current data sets onto the development machine and use it as a backup should the production machine fail. I know of no way that SE can read level-n archives made by Online. We do regular Online archives, but in addition, every evening a dbexport is run and the resulting directory is tarred to tape just in case it has to be loaded on the SE machine. Good day JSW
