Re: backup/recovery

I may not be quite undestanding your question. However, the examples you included in your note seem to indicate that you desire to backup specific Unix files. The tbtape (or ontape) utility is used to backup an instance of the engine (data) which is usually physically located in "raw" disk space (non-unix file system). ontape -s will execute an data archive of your instance. You will beprompted for the level of archive desired (0, 1 or 2). Now, if your desire is to backup Unix files (i.e: .profile) you mau use "tar" or "cpio". The ontape utility is well documented in the Archive manual/
