When using 'ontape -c', for continuos backup of logical logs, what is the proper way to terminate the command? Is it simply a CTRL-C?

Yes. Just make sure there is not a log backup in progress (ie if the current log is brand new empty and the prior log is not yet marked with a "B" check the drive lights first). Art S.

Yes, that's the normal way to do it. Top Cat wrote: > When using 'ontape -c', for continuos backup of logical logs, what is the > proper way to terminate the command? Is it simply a CTRL-C?
