Hi,

since we had no serious problems in the past,
more and more of our users start using coda.

Time to think about a backup before it's too late ...

For playing around I have set it up all on the server,
it might (should?) move when fully implemented.

1) I have setup the dumplist:
	7f000041        IFIIIII         coda.homes.fzoellne

2) there is the vicetab
	aipc1   /vicepa   ftree   width=128,depth=3
	aipc1   /vicepb   ftree   width=128,depth=3
	aipc1   /vol/coda/backup        backup

   The backup Directory is on some partition mounted on /vol,
   but not used for "other" coda purposes. I hope that's O.K. ?
   Do I have to initialise it somehow ?

3) am am root and have admin tokens

4) I started backup manually and got error messages
   attached below: backup -t 135 /vice/db/dumplist /backup

5) Just for Fun I tried to lock a volume manually,
   and it also fails:
 	volutil lock 0x7f000001
	V_BindToServer: binding to host aipc1
	VolLock failed with Unknown RPC2 return code 200

A related (backup newbie) question: 
how much of the server is needed on the BCM ?
The Manual mentions only the backup tools, but not which daemons
and other software is needed, if any.

Greetings from snowy germany,
yours,
Steffen
