Tape, certainly.
pax (tar on steroids) can create the backup file you need (that's what motivated its invention), but then you need to move it to the other system. Mark mentioned "copytree" for its facilities. <RANT> Why did IBM feel the need to take something as simple and elegant like UNIX and taint it with extended attributes and such? They just couldn't resist making UNIX resemble MVS? "tar" is an acronym for Tape Archive. It's beyond ironic that z/OS's tar doesn't support tapes.</RANT> -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
