I have been considering using the SYSGEN tape facility to provide a complete backup for HP3000 operating system and user files but the store parameter only allows the specification of a fileset. There is no option for DIRECTORY which is essential for the securing of the directory structure. Without this option it does not appear possible to have a single tape set with the operating system, directory structure and files completely captured for total recovery. Is there a simple solution to achieving a SYSGEN tape set for complete backup? Ken Nutsford E-Mail <[log in to unmask]>
