Kevin -- Comments below. You may find it worthwhile to review the database backup exercises from the GT.M Acculturation CD, especially the use of mupip backup -bytestream -since and mupip restore.

I use this command: mupip backup bytestream "*" tmp/vista_backup [KSB] Maybe mupip backup -bytestream (with a hyphen)? Also, since the default for -bytestream is since=database, perhaps you are backing up unnecessarily? 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? [KSB] You are only backing up the blocks that changed since your last -database backup. 2) How can I test if my backup is working properly? [KSB] Mupip restore Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
