Hi all, I'm evaluating different solutions for a customer backup project. Looking for the differences between ABS and ABS OMT I've found the Digital Confidential Document: """"" ABS V2.1 & ABS/LITE Engineering Plan Version 2 September 18, 1996 """"" My question is very simple: Are the differences stated in this documment valid and actual for the current product releases ? Regards Alberto [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

Hi, There is a cooklist on how to improve OpenVMS Backup performance. It is based mainly in username account quotas (WSQUOTA, BYTLM, ...) Is this still valid when doing backups with ABS ? I ask this because I remember something in the past with SLS having a special backup image with WSQUOTA 'hardcoded', so no influence when changing username quotas.
