Hello Harold, As the originator of this thread, my goal was two fold. First, to provide a file level backup (and possibly restore) solution. Second, it was to get back into VM again. I stopped using

I have watched this thread and continue to come away with "what is the objective of this discussion?" Is it about backing up your VM DASD or is it about resurrecting some past capability? I realize it

The first prototype of the ALL command (builtin, not a REXX macro) is here. SET SELECT and SET DISPLAY are operational and almost complete. SET SCOPE is implemented but now there is *much* legwork to

I like the idea that we are not limited to what was the physical size of the tapes. In an emulated world like Hercules, I would like to set the size of my backup file at just under what I can write to

On the main Hercules page, if you scroll down about 1/2 way, you should see a section titled "PDF manuals": * https://sdl-hercules-390.github.io/html/#docs PLEASE NOTE the disclaimer! "The below PDF

Tape files are not limited to feet of tape, but to the size of the filesystem/available space. You can, if you have it, attach real devices, like SCSI tape drives to Hercules, and use those. I don't

Data compressions is already in place at the Hercules level, when you create a tape. See: https://hercdoc.glanzmann.org/V400/HerculesOperationsandUtilities.pdf Hercules Emulator V4.00 – Operations

I have been thinking about this and why VM lacked some of the basic subsystems needed for production work. Me and my company worked for many separate organisations over 30 years. We saw the same

VM customers started sharing modifications and utilities decades before there was any Internet. VM's ease of use, and the availability of VM source code with a set of build tools, meant that VM user

My system did full backups of each minidisk on Sunday and then deltas for Monday through Saturday. We already had a mechanism to ask the Operators to mount a tape. I don't remember if there was any

I am sure there are many here that worked on many similar problems. A pity that Share wasn't as popular as GitHub seems to be and that everyone seemed more concerned about sharing IP.

OH! Your story remnided me of a second change I did to VMFPLC2. It was an important part of determining the differences / changes. I forget what I changed, but know I did change something. Are the

Fascinating that I built much the same thing. To make it work also built a job scheduler and something to allow security to handle access, something to issue privileged commands etc etc. This started

Hi, The software included a very basic form of tape management. It would tell the operator to mount a new tape and how to label the one just taken down. The software would keep track of the contents

A tape management system might need to be written too. And maybe a data compression option? /Tom Kern

Hi, As it has been awhile and I'm new to VM/CE, one of the things I need to know is how much data can I get on a 6250 reel of tape? What other backup devices does VM/CE support beside a 6250 drive?
