>>Backup .com to look at more than one disk
Do you mean to take BACKUP of files from multiple disks from the singe BACKUP command?
In this case you can do that by using /INPUT_FILES qualifier. Here you need to specify the files name (which you want to BACKUP) from multiple disks in a file and that file needs to be specified as the input specifier in the BACKUP command.

Ketan

My psychic powers are too weak to tell me
what this system is, or what "dsk01" and
"dsk02" are, or what's in your "backup .COM".

And you think that someone here _does_ know?

Yet another mystery.

Re: Backup .com to look at more than one disk
Yes, as Steven said, you query is not so clear. Please describe.
Below is the small example how you can backup the files from multiple disks.
$ dir VISHAK$DKA100:[000000]TEST.COM;1
Directory VISHAK$DKA100:[000000]
TEST.COM;1
Total of 1 file.
$ dir VISHAK$DKB200:[000000]WAIT.COM;1
Directory VISHAK$DKB200:[000000]
WAIT.COM;1
Total of 1 file.
$
$ type backup.com
VISHAK$DKA100:[000000]TEST.COM;1
VISHAK$DKB200:[000000]WAIT.COM;1
$
$
$backup/log backup.com/input_files temp.bck/save
%BACKUP-S-COPIED, copied VISHAK$DKA100:[000000]TEST.COM;1
%BACKUP-S-COPIED, copied VISHAK$DKB200:[000000]WAIT.COM;1
$
$
$backup/list temp.bck/save

Re: Backup .com to look at more than one disk
depending on the length of the list, logical names and logical name lists can be used to achieve the desired result.
Example:
define todo disk1:[dir1...],disk2:[dir2...]
backup todo output.bck/save
But be aware if there are the same directory names on different disks: on restore they can't be directed to different disks, they will be mixed into the same disk;[dir...]: which may be wanted or not.

Re: Backup .com to look at more than one disk
Files with .RDA and .SNP types are basically RDB files. You can use RMU to backup such files. Refer the below link on RMU reference manual.
