John,
If Design Bais is riding on the back of SB+ field definitions then you
may be able to use D/I types. SB+ can be set to create and maintain D
& I types by setting DMCONT SB.CONTROL<34,1> = 1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]<34,1>).
At last look there was a bug in the UV version of SB.FD
System Builder (that is, SB+) will not let you modify a dictionary
with it's Field Definition tool if it wasn't created in SB+ or
converted into that format.

Maybe this is what you are looking for. @TTY will equal a lower case

through our login program. All of the output from the commands in a

There are many robust backup programs that can be used in various O/S
environments.
You should only backup the system when there is no activity on the system.
Otherwise
you will not get a clean backup.

How long does their weekly backup take?
Are they really 24x7, or do they shut down for the backup?
How do they currently do the backup? Uvbackup? Cpio?
How much of their data is outside of u2 on unix files?
