C Transferring Optical STORE Backups
onto Standard Tapes
STORCOPY is a utility that allows you to transfer optical STORE backups onto standard tape
backup, a less expensive backup medium. STORCOPY copies backups on magneto-optical
devices to any other STORE backup media
except magneto-optical.
The STORCOPY program resides in PUB.SYS. It can be used by users with OP and SM
capability by entering either of the following commands from the MPE/iX prompt:
:STORCOPY option Return
or
:STORCOPY Return
NOTE If you enter STORCOPY where no " option " parameters are specified, as in the
second example, the "STORCOPY:" prompt appears. Acceptable responses to
this prompt are a complete STORCOPY command line (see the following
examples).
In the following example, a backup called MOBACK is copied to a single output device on
LDEV 8. No listing is produced. MOBACK may have been created with the STORESET option,
and thus may contain more than one set. STORCOPY will copy these sets one at a time to the
output device until all the sets have been copied.
:STORCOPY COPYTOSET=(8);NAME=MOBACK Return
or
:STORCOPY Return
:STORCOPY:storcopy copytoset=(8);name=moback Return
The next example shows a backup called MOBACK is copied to a single output device defined
by the file equation DDSTAPE to a DDS drive. A listing will be produced and sent to
$STDLIST and the line printer.
:FILE DDSTAPE;DEV=DDS Return
:FILE SYSLIST;DEV=LP Return
:STORCOPY
COPYTOSET=(*DDSTAPE);NAME=MOBACK;SHOW=OFFLINE Return
or
