- Regarding an automated 'BACKUP' command, you could also have the secondary
- console of the SFS filepool be a PROP machine, and have it do the BACKUP
- as part of midnight processing, or in response to "log nn% full". SFS will
- start the backup process itself when it reaches the threshold limit, but I
- like to do backups before then. If your log disks are quite small, it's
- possible that a process could exhaust the remaining log disk before the
- backup process completes.
