Thanks Dale.

And it's complete, I used the tape regularly to restore to my test environments. Just change TAPxx to whatever your tape device is, and put whatever you want into the NEWOWNID field. The DSPTAP at the end was to comply with Sarbannes-Oxley, but is a good idea anyway, as it shows the date of the backup, and at least verifies that the libraries were backed up.

If you can do a backup to disk, then a later save of the backup to tape, you should (emphasis on "should") be able to get the XA backup done over a lunch break. I've been able to. BTW - if you want, I can provide a quick save of the backup to tape that can be added to the post-backup process, or placed in the job scheduler (which is how I usually did it). Very easy.

I ask this because I know of many 3 shift organizations that are nominally 24/7, but actually do a backup each night during 3rd shift lunch break. For example, if you use COM_Net and MDCC, both applications stay up for the users, but the transactions simply don't post until after the XA backups are completed. Ditto with non-XA applications, for example two of my accounts have add-on, in-house written IM transactions done through green-screen data collection, but those transactions simply wait until the backups are done.
