I posted this once before and have checked with some other experts. However, we're coming up empty and hope someone has experience with this.
I want to T-DUMP a file from UniVerse and T-LOAD it onto UniData. As we don't use tapes anymore I need to create some kind of virtual tape file. In D3 I'd do the following: :DEV-MAKE -T TAPE -A "E:\Backups\DiskBackup,p" :SET-DEVICE 3 <-- assuming the above command created device#3 :T-REW :T-DUMP CUSTOMERFILE :T-REW :T-DET This "E:\Backups\DiskBackup" file could then be handled like any other file and sent to another D3 machine (either NT or Linux although the commands are slightly different for D3Linux). There, one could: :DEV-MAKE -T TAPE -A "D:\DiskBackup,p" :SET-DEVICE 4 <-- assuming the above command created device#4 :T-REW :T-LOAD CUSTOMERFILE :T-REW :T-DET The first two steps are what we're having problems with; defining a device and attaching it before we execute the "tape" commands. We've found that UniAdmin doesn't create a &DEVICE& file properly and when we adjust the &DEVICE& item and try: ASSIGN DiskBackup TO MTU 0 Error, cannot get tape device configuration (87). We know UniAdmin will do a full, daily, or weekly backup directly to any file (including path) we want; so UniAdmin knows how to define and assign (or assign and attach) a Windows file path. Can anyone tell me how to define and assign a "virtual tape file" so I can T-DUMP from UV and T-LOAD onto UD? As always, I appreciate any help anyone can offer. :-) Bill Haskett Advantos Systems, Inc. www.advantos.net (760)944-5570 (CA) (360)923-4838 (WA) ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
