Appendix C  Transferring Optical STORE Backups onto Standard Tapes 

STORCOPY is a utility that allows you to transfer optical STORE backups
onto standard tape backup, a less expensive backup medium.  STORCOPY
copies backups on magneto-optical devices to any other STORE backup media
except magneto-optical.

The STORCOPY program resides in PUB.SYS. It can be used by users with OP
and SM capability by entering either of the following commands from the
MPE/iX prompt:

     :STORCOPY option Return 

or

     :STORCOPY Return 


NOTE  If you enter STORCOPY where no "option" parameters are specified,
      as in the second example, the "STORCOPY:" prompt appears.
      Acceptable responses to this prompt are a complete STORCOPY command
      line (see the following examples).


In the following example, a backup called MOBACK is copied to a single
output device on LDEV 8.  No listing is produced.  MOBACK may have been
created with the STORESET option, and thus may contain more than one set.
STORCOPY will copy these sets one at a time to the output device until
all the sets have been copied.

     :STORCOPY COPYTOSET=(8);NAME=MOBACK Return 

or

     :STORCOPY Return 

     :STORCOPY:storcopy copytoset=(8);name=moback Return 

The next example shows a backup called MOBACK is copied to a single
output device defined by the file equation DDSTAPE to a DDS drive.  A
listing will be produced and sent to $STDLIST and the line printer.

     :FILE DDSTAPE;DEV=DDS Return 
     :FILE SYSLIST;DEV=LP Return 
     :STORCOPY COPYTOSET=(*DDSTAPE);NAME=MOBACK;SHOW=OFFLINE Return 

or

     :STORCOPY Return 

     :STORCOPY:FILE DDSTAPE;DEV=DDS Return 
     :STORCOPY:FILE SYSLIST;DEV=LP Return 
     :STORCOPY:STORCOPY COPYTOSET=(*DDSTAPE);NAME=MOBACK;SHOW=OFFLINE Return 

In the following example, a backup called MOBACK, which has five sets, is
copied to three output devices.  Two of the output devices are DDS drives
on LDEV 7 and LDEV 8.  The other output device is defined by file
equation DDSTAPE. A SECURITY and LONG listing is produced and sent to
$STDLIST and a new file called MOLIST via the file equation SYSLIST.

Since MOBACK consists of five sets and only three output devices,
STORCOPY will copy the first three sets to output and will produce the
other two sets as the output devices become available.

     :FILE DDSTAPE;DEV=DDS Return 
     :FILE SYSLIST=MOLIST,NEW;SAVE Return 
     :STORCOPY COPYTOSET=(7),(8),(*DDSTAPE);NAME=MOBACK; & Return 
     :SHOW=SECURITY,OFFLINE Return 

or

     :STORCOPY Return 

     :STORCOPY:FILE DDSTAPE;DEV=DDS Return 
     :STORCOPY:FILE SYSLIST=MOLIST,NEW;SAVE Return 
     :STORCOPY:STORCOPY COPYTOSET=(7),(8),(*DDSTAPE);NAME=MOBACK; Return 
     :SHOW=SECURITY,OFFLINE Return
