Re: Using the EXPORT command






Ken,

Assuming you have adequate free disk online, you should be able to use a
devclass where devtype=FILE.

I'd recommend setting up a devclass for the desired target directory and
an
appropriate MAXCAPacity.  (Default for MAXCAP is 4 MB.) Assuming that
you're doing an export of node data, you (probably) don't want to be
dealing with gobs and gobs of volumes.

HTH,

Ted
