to restore from in case of a system failure: calendar definitions job definitions machine definitions monitor and browser definitions global variables For information about restoring the backed up definitions, see Restoring Definit ions in this chapter.

To append your machine definitions to the same file that contains your job de finitions, from the UNIX command prompt, execute the following command: autorep -M ALL -q >> /directory/autosys.jil where: directory Is the same directory where you saved your job definitions, a directory outside of the directory structure.
