The thing is that i do not have any disks or anything. So i want a exact duplicate so if the HD crashes i can load on a new hd and start where i last backed up. I will keep looking. Thanks

I will look into updating the progress software. BUT i am going to have to clone the HD to a new machine. Know of a good HD cloner that i can run from windows to clone the unix server over the network???

Actually the system is running on a OLD HP computer running progress 6.3E03 (just confirmed the version being used for the active program). Even if maint was being paid, the system could not handle the upgrade. Non of the Data direct stuff is backwards compatible?

no i am not really a unix guy. I know enough to move around the operating system and to work a mac terminal. But no i do not know much about the actual internal workings. What i dont understand about the path instructions is what is the PATH thing? Is: DLC=/usr/dlc export DLC...
