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 <printer queue> /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
).
