  On-line BACKUP? (DSM) 
 The Question is:
 
I currently support an application database utilizing DSM/VMS. What kind of
 back-up utilities are available? We are a 24x7 operation, so we would like to
 keep the system online during the back-up procedure.
 
 The Answer is:
 
  This discussion involves discussions of potential OpenVMS BACKUP futures,
  and it also involves discussions of any potential plans for integrating
  BACKUP support within the DSM environment -- to perform an on-line BACKUP,
  the BACKUP operation must be coordinated with the application processing.
 
  Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance in this
  particular requirement.
