Speaking of SLT's I plan on moving an old 937 from one location to another in a week or so. I've told the owner of the machine that preparing the machine for the move made take 3 to 15 hours depending on the amount data is on the machine. WHY? Before moving it we should have two SLT's, and two full backup's, and the SLT's should check using checkslt, and the backups need to verified using VSTORE. I've also educated the owner about the nauseous feeling associated with a hard-drive failure when you don't have these tapes. Theirs more; like config listings, network listings, HardCopies. Didn't someone on the list have a command file that covers eveything, was it Donna? -- Michael Anderson Programmer/Analyst -- Technology Dept.
