I am planning to move my DECmcc BMS + DEMO to a new system (from DECstation to VAX 6420) because system resource problem. But how should I back up the whole DECmcc system? My most concern is DNS where it store all the registered nodes for demo purpose. Thanks, Susan

there is no way I know of to backup DNS. Sure the data is stored in a file (*.GBL, I think), but it isn't as easy as just copying the files to your new system. Three suggestions... 1. Keep your current system as the DNS server and have your new DECmcc system be just a client pointing to your old system as a DNS Server. Very easy to do and almost no risk of loosing data. 2. Use the Routines Directory BSYBEE::DUA0:[PUBLIC] EXTRACT_MCC_BRIDGES.COM;4 3 30-AUG-1990 09:51:43.00 (RWE,RWED,RWE,RWE) EXTRACT_MCC_DOMAINS.COM;10 7 7-SEP-1990 18:30:03.00 (RWE,RWED,RWE,RWE) EXTRACT_MCC_NODE4.COM;5 3 31-AUG-1990 18:50:44.00 (RWE,RWED,RWE,RWE) EXTRACT_MCC_STATION.COM;8 5 17-SEP-1990 15:37:24.00 (RWE,RWED,RWE,RWE) These haven't been used for a long time and I'm not sure if they still work (they should!). They were developed so that DNS could be read and DECmcc command procedures created to re-load DECmcc data. I have seen references to newer updated routines that also capture Reference Data in the conference. 3. Start from scratch on the new system. You may want to try item 1 and see if it works for you.

You can also find the extract procedures on DESIR:: (51.875)

These procedures will recreate your namespace for those entities.
Remeber that to be able to use your Maps, you have to copy them
on the new system under mcc_maps: using names like MCC_Domain.MCC_MAP
