Hi,
Can anyone help me?

I have a Universe system that I need to run a routine that performs a
series of T-DUMPs to the currently ASSIGNed tape device.

My problem is, I do not have a physical backup device like a tape.

I am more familiar with d3/nt; & in d3 you can create a 'Tape' which
is actually a file on the HDU.

I have been trying to work out what the corresponding concept is in UV
and am struggling to find it. I have tried making an entry called
PSEDUO in the &DEVICE& file with the location of a file nominated, but
that doesn't work when I issue
ASSIGN PSEUDO TO MTU 0

Can anyone who knows their way around UV please help me? I cannot use
tools like uvbackup; since I need to run an ASSIGN first to 'attach' a
device and then run a BP uitility which then writes to the ASSIGNed
device.

Helpers, please? I can't believe this is not a simple thing to do!!!

Cheers

David

Ensure that the &DEVICE& record has a type of "F" for floppy and an
appropriate block size. I've tried this on Universe 9.5 on solaris. I
tested multiple T-DUMPs, and the T-REW/T-LOAD/T-FWD all worked as
expected. The &DEVICE& records looks like;

0001 pseudo
0002 /tmp/xp/dumpfile
0003 8192
0004 F
0005
0006 /tmp/xp/dumpfile
0007 /tmp/xp/dumpfile
0008
0009
0010
0011
0012
0013
0014
0015
0016 8192
0017
0018
0019

where /tmp/xp/dumpfile is the backup file
