Yes you can just do a "cancel proc" and it will die after it finishes the
current file.  When you issue the "backup stg" command later, it will do
files that do not have a backup.  We do this all the time when we have
service people come in.

Hope that helps

Subject: backup storge pool


I want to make off site copies of my storage pool for the obvious reasons. I
currently have about 100 3590E tapes that I need to initially duplicate and
then plan on doing a backup storage pool everyday and send those tapes off
site.  It is my understanding that to start this whole process I need to do
a backup storage pool which will copy all 100 tapes.  My question is whether
I can cancel that backup command and have it again restart where it left
off.  I need all my tape drives from 8:00pm to 8:00 am for backups and it
will take much longer than the remaining 12 hours to duplicate that data.

Thanks
