Archiving and Restoring Data
Use the following procedures to save the required files on a diskette.
Saving the System Tables File
These procedures work for both 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" diskettes. To copy the sys-
tem tables file, do as follows:
1.
Put a formatted diskette into drive A on your PC. Be sure to close the
locking bar.
2.
Make certain you are in MS-DOS and you have the DOS prompt. From
the CMS Administration Menu, you can press [F8] (Exit to DOS) to get to
the prompt.
Type
3.
cd C:\cms\cmsmgmt
4.
To copy the system tables file for the current date, type
copy
C : systbls.cms
where yymmdd is the date. For example, to copy the system tables file
for the date 04/1 9/90, type
reverse 900419 (for identification. ) and
Your result should be
C : systbls.cms
copy
If you copy the system tables file only when a change affecting line,
agent, or split assignments has been made, use the date the change
became effective. For instance, if the change was made Monday morn-
ing before CMS was started, use Monday's date. If the change was
made after CMS stopped on Monday, use Tuesday's date.
When the red light goes out on the floppy disk drive, open the locking
5.
bar and remove the diskette. Place a label on the diskette and store it
in a safe place.
