It was the good 'ol "SWAG" --- Only Alfredo and Rene probably know for sure
:-)

What spare time? (looking around --- nope, none here :-)

Here's how I do it:

0) Kick everyone off, and shut down networking (so no files will fail to
STORE because they are in use for writing.
 1) As MANAGER.SYS, :RUN BULDACCT;INFO="@"
2) STORE /;*T;SHOW=OFFLINE etc.
3) VSTORE (or however you like to verify your tapes), on a different tape
drive, if possible.
4) If you have time, make a second backup (I don't trust tapes)
5) Go into SYSGEN, and make a new SLT

When you're ready to reload:
1) Boot from the SLT
2) Use VOLUTIL to add the rest of your disc drives
3) :RESTORE *T;@[log in to unmask];CREATE;KEEP;OLDDATE;SHOW=OFFLINE
4) :STREAM BULDJOB1.PUB.SYS
5) :RESTORE *T;/;CREATE;KEEP;OLDDATE;SHOW=OFFLINE
6) :STREAM BULDJOB2.PUB.SYS

Examine the :RESTORE listings to see if you need to fix anything.

You can re-direct the STORE and RESTORE listings to disc for easier viewing.

Good luck!
