I am using BE version 11d to back up to disk. This is new for me. I back up to tape every night without a hitch. I set up an external USB drive, and set up the new back up job presumably correctly. Although I set it on a schedule, I chose Run Now to test it. Job immediately goes into Queued...

When I FTP an ascii file to an AS400 box, I get the following error message: Records written to file have been truncated. Data in file may not be valid. I am sending records that are 225 in length, and the records are coming over 170 in length. Help!

Yes, and I now apologize fro the misunderstanding on my part...thanks for the clarification.

PHV, Hope there was no misunderstanding, bu I am initiating the FTP transfer from DOS not UNIX. Thanks.

I am using FTP in Windows (DOS) to "put" a file onto my unix machine. The file comes to the unix side with the following permissions: -rw-r----- . Yet, if I am sitting in unix (with the exact same login that I use for FTP), and create a file, the permissions are: -rw-rw-r-- , which is really...

I am putting together a system with various old components, and trying to get it to boot. The hard drive is a clone of a working system. The boot gets all the way to the letter "G", where I get the following message "G hd_config" WARNING: hd: No Root Disk Controller Was Found. Then I get a...

PH, Thanks, but the ultimate command that is used is: cat printfile | lp -dnetworkprinter, and I can not see where to work in the mx# parameter. Can you help further? Thanks, Joe
