I am using a script, called by crontab, to back up my database on a regular basis.
I use this command: mupip backup bytestream "*" tmp/vista_backup I then use rsync to upload it to our windows server, where it is include in its backup. So far, the file that is created with this method are about 9 mb. This seems to be much smaller than the size of my mumps.dat file (which is 86,186,544 bytes). Questions: 1) Why the size discrepancy? 2) How can I test if my backup is working properly? Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
