OpenVMS and Backup Script

[Ruud Dijt]

I have 'made' a set off utilities more than 10 years ago, determining all the facts about a certain date; they know about day ofv the week, weekends and hollidays; beginning and ending off a month and quarter
self explaining, parameter parsing, almost like a lexical function; You can use them within amother dcl script, that can start off the backups selectively; let me know if yoy like to get them zipped.

Parhaps you would add your dcl to the archive at dcl.openvms.org?

For more complex scheduling there are various commercial products.

Yeah that would be great to have those scripts. Could you please zip them? Thanks everyone for the great responses

Wow, that was my first 10 point! TY
Attached script for incremental backups, could be useful for copy/paste...more points? :)
