I run a VAX-750 under 4.2 BSD in a site where all other VAXen run under VMS. Our operators are VMS knowledgeable, but that took a looong time. They do not have the time nor the inclination to learn a new op system. Thus, I badly need a shell script/program/whatever to perform nighly backups (using dump, preferably using reverse hanoi sequence) with minimum amount of knowledge on the operator's part. It should preferably a very friendly front-end, with some sort of intelligent error-recovery. Plz..plz.. help!!
