Re: |After having absorbed the OnLine Administrator's Guide via |osmosis (zzzzz) over the past week, I've got a problem with |my conversion from SE to OnLine. The problem is archiving. It |doesn't look like I'm going to be able to do unattended archiving |because tbtape is interactive. Did I miss something? Is there a |different command I should be using? I thought about tbunload, |but it locks the tables and I need 24 hour a day availability. One way would be to use "echo 0 | tbtape -s" (for a level 0 archive) You would need to be fairly sure that the archive will fit on one tape, tho' Cheers, Richard Ridley
