Alternative method of backing up database - VMS
Alternative method of backing up the database on VMS:
-----------------------------------------------------
This method requires after-imaging be turned on.
Recommend VMS BACKUP database related files weekly.
VMS backup the ai file nightly, then start new ai file.
If cost is an issue, their best solution may be to
enable after-imaging. This way they only need to backup
the ai file every night
The following steps are taken out of the VMS System
Administration course notes.

1. Stop PROGRESS (PROGRESS command)
