Backups for Option 11C

[ehidal1]

Is there a command to check the backup logs to make sure that the system is backing up properly? Also, if I wanted to do a manual backup in LD 143 to make sure I have an updated one, what would the process be for that to make sure that I have a new backup? Also, is there a way to look on the PCMCIA card to see the information? Thank you

You can run AHST in ld 22 and you will see the completed or incompleted backup.

It used to be LD 43 up to Rlse 21.xx, then it was LD 143 from Rlse 22.xx onwards.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

You can also use the command DAT in LD43 to check the back-ups.

You can preform an XVR in LD 143 if its to a remote backup.

When I do a LD 43 .dat, it shows the Main has run, the secondary has run, the int backup has run, and for PCMCIA that there is no card in drive B. It says 'Current external backup is on PCMCIA drive B'. Does this mean that everything has backed up successfuly to the PCMCIA in drive a? And it just doesn't see a card in b? Or that its trying to backup to b and there is no card? Thanks again.

It means that you have successfully backed up to the hard drive, but not the PCMCIA. You need to put it in slot B and then perform the backup.

Thanks paco. So I need to move the card to slot B for the backup tonight. To move the card, do I need to shut the power down, or can that be a hot swap? Thanks for the help

You can remove the PCMCIA at anytime

DO NOT SHUT THE POWER
