All, I would like to have a script automatically run to backup the disk stgpool, then tape pool, and finally the database. Obviously i don't want them all to kick off at the same time. Is there a way to run them sequentially so tape pool backup doesn't start until disk pool backup is done, db backup doesn't start till tape pool backup is done?? ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
