EMPARCH(1)                                                          EMPARCH(1)



NAME
       emparch - archive an EMPRESS database to a device or file

SYNOPSIS
       emparch  [-a file] [-f] database

DESCRIPTION
       This  command creates an archive of the EMPRESS database on a device or
       file, disabling access to database during the process.   At  least  one
       recovery  logfile  for the database must be available (specified by the
       Empress variables MSDBRECOVERYLOG1 or MSDBRECOVERYLOG2).  The  recovery
       logfiles  for  the  database  are truncated.  Emparch asks the user for
       information and confirmation during the archiving process.  The default
       device  used is /dev/rmt.  The archiving method used is cpio or tar (or
       some other) depending on the system.

       -a file        Creates an archive of  the  EMPRESS  database  on  file.
                 File can be a file or a device.

       -f        Forces execution without confirmation.


FILES
       Recovery log files are specified by the Empress variables:
                                         MSDBRECOVERYLOG1
                                         MSDBRECOVERYLOG2
