MPE/iX provides the STORE/RESTORE facility and TurboSTORE II/iX, which enable you to back up files and transfer files from one MPE system to another. Both of these facilities allow you to back up and restore HFS directories and files.

As of Release 5.0, STORE @.@.@ stores all files (and HFS directories). You can also use the following command to back up all files:

   STORE /

The command backs up all accounts, groups, directories, and files on the system. In the command, the / does three things:

  1. It specifies the root directory.

  2. It tells MPE/iX to look for names using the HFS syntax (which includes all MPE syntax names).

  3. It calls the TREE option which includes all files under the directory specified.

NOTE: If you use a third-party program to back up your system, you need to be sure that it is capable of storing files in HFS directories and subdirectories.
