Re: Automated / starting Ontape level 0 backup

Tim, If you are using unix try the "cron" or "at" command to run at a specified time. You will need to embed the ontape command in a script like this: #!/bin/ksh # ontape -s -L 0 <<EOI EOI # End of script This will send a carriage return after starting ontape. The tape must be in the drive already. If you are using NT there is an at command but I don't know how you supply the carriage return. Regards David ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Hello, I need to run an unattended Level 0 backup via the "ontape -s -L 0" command. Does anyone know how, or has anyone already done this? If so, could you point me in the right direction as I am new to Informix and databases in general? Any help is appreciated. tim.clifton@mexmil.com
