Noprompt; Example: Mounting A Tape For A Backup Using Noprompt; Norewind; Nosafeguard - HP BACKCOPY Reference Manual

If the NOMYID option is specified, backup tapes are marked so that the MYID option cannot be
used during a RESTORE procedure.
CAUTION:

NOPROMPT

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.
NOPROMPT

Example: Mounting a Tape for a BACKUP using NOPROMPT

1. Before starting a BACKUP process, insert a write-enable ring on each tape reel.
2. Enter a complete BACKUP command, including the NOPROMPT option.
This noninteractive message is displayed:
$tape: device not ready -- beginning to poll --
3. Mount the first (or next) tape. For each reel, the program continues when it detects that the
drive is ready.
4. When there are no more device not ready prompts, the process is complete.

NOREWIND

The NOREWIND option directs the BACKUP utility to leave the tape positioned at its current location
and leave it online when the BACKUP process is completed. This option lets the tape be labeled
for the next BACKUP without having to search for the end of tape. This option is only available
starting with the G06 version of BACKUP.
NOREWIND
NOREWIND is mutually exclusive with NOUNLOAD. If neither is specified the default is to unload
the tape.
If NOREWIND is specified for an unlabeled tape and an attempt is made to read
(RESTORE/BACKCOPY) or write (BACKUP/BACKCOPY) to the tape without first manually
repositioning the tape, the utility abends with Error 8103.

NOSAFEGUARD

The NOSAFEGUARD option excludes Safeguard security information in a BACKUP process. This
option applies only to Enscribe files.

Guidelines

If you use the NOSAFEGUARD option, files with Safeguard security information are backed

When you back up files that have Safeguard protection and do not use the NOSAFEGUARD
option, the files retain that protection.
Although the NOMYID option provides greater security, it is not a substitute for a
