I actually have a fairly slick DCL script that I wrote to work with my
Exabyte 8mm Jukebox, but I don't believe that has been used in about 6
years. I'd like to see if I can't enhance it. It uses a configuation file
to setup the backup schedules (both full and incremental). The best part is
I now have RDB and MySQL on the system so I can add in a proper filehistory
database, which was what I was going to work on next. There is also the
possibility of a rewrite in Perl (or even Python), to ease integration with
RDB or MySQL.
My current setup is as follows:
System Disk 18GB
Scratch Disk 50GB
Web Disk 36GB (2 drive Shadowset)
User Disk 36GB (2 drive Shadowset)
TLZ06 and DLT7000 Tape Drives (might add a L200 DLT Jukebox in place of the
standalone DLT drive if I can find room)
Right now the only internal drives are the CD-ROM and TLZ-06 so adding an
internal IDE drive will be somewhat easy (cabling in the system is a pain).

I'm actually threatening to put a large
~250GB IDE drive in my XP1000/667,
as a backup device. Shouldn't be to hard to create a batch job that backs
up the drives in the middle of the night and resubmits itself. Though it
has been quite a while since I did any serious DCL scripting. As the system
has a built in UW-SCSI, plus I've added U2W-SCSI, and FW-SCSI-Diff, I have
no desire to try and actually run on IDE!
I'm sure I won't be alone in offering DCL help for backups :o) If your IDE
drive is the same size or bigger than the drive you're backing up and the
IDE drive is initialised and mounted all you need to do is:
$backup/image dkcnn: dqcn:[000000]dkcnn.bck/save
'course, YMMV depending on how you want to do things - IDE drive as a proper
image copy, differential backups etc.
