9.3.1.1 Backing Up Disk Files to Tape
The following example copies all files from the $DISK1.USER2
sub-volume to the tape on the tape drive name $TAPE1. The
NOPROMPT option instructs the host system not to prompt the
user before writing to each tape. This option is useful when the
backup requires more than one cartridge, and the process utilizes a
label tape environment.
1> BACKUP $TAPE1, $DISK1.USER2.*, NOPROMPT
9.3.1.2 Using Labeled Tape
If labeled tapes are being used, tape DEFINE with BACKUP and
RESTORE commands must be used. A tape DEFINE specifies
information about a tape file, such as the label type, tape density,
and expiration date of the data on the tape. The following example
specifies a CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINE named “=BACK.”
The BACKUP command copies all the files on the $DATA volume
to tape.
1> ADD DEFINE =BACK, CLASS TAPECATALOG, LABELS
BACKUP,&
1> &USE OUT, CATALOG OFF
2> BACKUP =BACK, $DATA.*.*, LISTALL, NOPROMPT
• The LISTALL option lists the names of all files backed up.
• The NOPROMPT option instructs BACKUP not to prompt the
user before beginning to write on each tape, but to begin when
it detects the tape drive is ready.
