Is this in fact true? >If true, can it be worked around by INSTALLing BACKUP with PHY_IO? This problem is a FLASH item on DSIN. If I remember right, it only affects systems with TU81's and/or TK50's. Since we have both, I know it does affect those. I have found that installing BACKUP with PHY_IO privilege works; however you also must install SYS$SHARE:ENCRYPSHR, since BACKUP evidently uses routines from there. I use the following: $ install := $install/command $ install create backup/priv=phy_io create sys$share:encrypshr exit $ The Flash for this problem on DSIN claims that this can't be done because ENCRYPSHR is linked /TRACEBACK. However, I have had no problem with it. Matt Madison Systems Programmer Center for Interactive Computer Graphics Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute madison@cicgj.rpi.edu
