The included files comprise a menu interface for a captive BACKUP account to be used for unattended system backups. The operator has the ability to initialize backup media, and perform daily, weekly or monthly backups which will be run in batch at the end of the day, without operator intervention. The current configuration will perform daily backups to TK50(TK70) and weekly and monthly backups will go to an Exabyte. The primary prerequisite for this application is the creation of a priviledged BACKUP account and modification of the command procedures to suit your own installation. This is far from perfect, but it should provide some ideas. I would love to see any improvements which might be made. John Hale NAPLUG
