6.3 System data backup

The AS/X databases are open while Advanced Server for UNIX is running. In order to
ensure that all configuration files are consistent, you must stop Advanced Server for UNIX
with the

net stop server

command before carrying out a data backup.

There are also hidden files and special files in the directories below

/var/opt/lanman

.

To back up the complete tree use e.g. the

cpio

command. Do not use the

cp

command - it will hang on special files.

6.4 Processing the printer queue

The section explains the spoolers for which you can process the printer queue with restric-
tions.

SPOOL 4.x or Xprint

6.4.1.1

Stopping and restarting printer queues

You can stop a printer queue for Advanced Server for UNIX using the command

net print /hold

. This sets all Advanced Server for UNIX print jobs to the status

SUSPEND

,

including jobs which have been newly spooled via Advanced Server for UNIX. Print jobs
spooled via

xpadd

are not affected.

The stopped printer queue is restarted using

net print /release

.

By default, Advanced Server for UNIX printer jobs have the sender

root

. This can

be viewed by entering the

xpshow

command.

You can also configure Advanced Server for UNIX for spooling under the user ID of
the AS/X user (see the

SpoolinAsUnixUser

registry parameter in the section

Parameters Entries

).
