The BACKUP command copies portions of  the  directory  hierarchy  and
 their related data definitions into a backup file.

 With the BACKUP command, you can keep a backup copy of your directory
 hierarchy, complete with history lists and access control lists.  You
 specify the dictionary directories, subdictionaries, and objects  you
 want  backed  up  and  whether you want to record the backup in their
 history lists.  You can also create a log of the given names  of  the
 dictionary  directories,  subdictionaries,  and objects in the backup
 file.

 Command Syntax:

  BACKUP [qualifiers] [path-name [, path-name]]... file-specification

 path-name

 Specifies the dictionary directories,  subdictionaries,  and  objects
 you  want  copied into the backup file.  The path name is optional if
 the /LIST qualifier is the only one used.  You can use the  wildcards
 %  and  *  in  the  last given name of the path name, and you can use
 either > or .> at the end of the chain.  You cannot use  @.   If  you
 are  using  a  terminal  of  the  VT200  family,  you  can  use 8-bit
 characters in path names.

 DMU assumes a > at the end of the chain as a default.

 Type "HELP specify path-name" for further information.

 file-specification

 Names the backup file.  Use the standard VMS file specification.  The
 default file type is .BAK.

  o  You  need  PASS_THRU  and  SEE  at  each  dictionary   directory,
     subdictionary, or object to be backed up.

  o  You need HISTORY at these directories and objects to use /AUDIT.

  o  You  need  CONTROL  at  these  directories  and  objects  to  use
     /PROTECTION.

Additional information available:

/AUDIT/HISTORY/LIST/LOG/PROTECTION

 Syntax:

     /AUDIT [= (quoted-string [, quoted-string]...)]
     /AUDIT = file-specification
     /NOAUDIT

 Use /AUDIT to create history list entries auditing the backup of each
 dictionary directory, subdictionary, or object.

 You can include explanatory text in history  list  entries  in  three
 ways:

  o  By specifying the /AUDIT qualifier.  If  you  include  no  quoted
     string or file-specification, DMU provides a default history list
     entry describing your operation.

  o  By including quoted  strings.   Enclose  each  quoted  string  in
     double  quotation  marks,  and  enclose  the series of strings in
     parentheses.  The parentheses are optional if  you  specify  only
     one quoted string.

  o  By specifying a file whose contents are to  be  included  in  the
     history  list  entry.   The  file specification is a standard VMS
     file specification, and the default file type is .DAT.   You  can
     include  no  more  than 64 input strings in a history list entry.
     DMU ignores any excess.

 With /NOAUDIT, no history list entries are created.  The  default  is
 /NOAUDIT.

 Syntax:

     /[NO]HISTORY

 Use /HISTORY to  copy  history  lists  into  the  backup  file.   Use
 /NOHISTORY  to exclude history lists from the information copied into
 the backup file.

 The default is /NOHISTORY.

 Syntax:

     /LIST [=file-specification]
     /NOLIST

 Use /LIST to create a  listing  of  the  dictionary  directories  and
 objects  in  a  backup file.  If you specify a path name and a backup
 file, BACKUP/LIST creates the backup file and the listing  file.   If
 you  do not specify a path name, BACKUP/LIST creates a listing from a
 specified, already existing backup file.

 The listing file contains a sentence  indicating  whether  protection
 and history list information is part of the backup file.  The rest of
 the listing file resembles the output of a LIST/BRIEF command.

 Specify a standard VMS file name for the listing file.   The  default
 file  type  is .LIS.  If you do not specify a listing file, DMU sends
 the output to SYS$OUTPUT.

 Use /NOLIST to prevent the creation of a listing  file.   /NOLIST  is
 the default.

 Do not use /LIST with  /LOG  if  the  output  for  both  is  sent  to
 SYS$OUTPUT.  If you do, DMU produces confusing output.

 Syntax:

     /LOG [= file-specification]
     /NOLOG

 Use /LOG to create a list of the given names of all of the dictionary
 directories, subdictionaries, and objects backed up.

 The file specification is a standard VMS  file  specification  naming
 the  file  into  which  the log is written.  The default file type is
 .LOG.  If you use /LOG without specifying a file, DMU writes the  log
 to SYS$OUTPUT.

 With /NOLOG, no list is created.  The default is /NOLOG.

 Do not use /LOG with  /LIST  if  the  output  for  both  is  sent  to
 SYS$OUTPUT.  If you do, DMU produces confusing output.

 Syntax:

     /[NO]PROTECTION

 Use /PROTECTION to include access control lists in the  backup  file.
 Use   /NOPROTECTION   to   exclude  access  control  lists  from  the
 information copied into the backup file.

 The default is /NOPROTECTION.
