Charles, Is there a reason you don't want to use uvbackup?
The answer to your question about copying is easy but, from your description it's not an optimal way to achieve what your management are apparently asking for. Using COPY will not give your backups ANY integrity and will possibly will get you into more trouble and give you more headaches than using the tools that are already in U2 and designed for doing backups. Good luck, Stuart -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 18 October 2005 07:45 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [UV] AIX COPY TO SAMBA DIRECTORY Is there a way to create a text file from a Universe database to a SAMBA directory? I have tried the COPYI FROM PRODUCT TO CONV.DATA/CUST.TXT but this does not work since the CUST.TXT does not exist. I want to copy selected Universe files to text file so that these can be burned to CD-ROM for an offsite storage. Management is clamoring for redundant backups and media in wake of Katrina and Rita storms. Any suggestions? Garry Smith Dir.
