Scott,
something related to problems compressing the Neview databases is using the
comand "nvTurboDatabase", which conver, compress and configure the NetView
databases for optimized speed or space. The problem with this command is
that ovtopofix -C should not be run on a nvTurboDatabase.

NetView 7.1.3 AIX 4.3.3

I am doing some trouble shooting on one of my NetView servers and I am
getting ready to restart automatic map generation but before I do I want to
back up my databases directory. I remember someone telling me not to use
tar
on the databases because it can damage them. Is that true and if it is,
what
should I use?

Thanks,
