More teething in the gateway, my inews ate this, I've changed the filter
to change >'s to }'s in column 1.

} I have had a problem of loosing files when using the following find
} command for backup (SYSV 2.01.01 on a Tower 32/650):
} 
}         cd /appl/lis/lisfil
}         find . /appl/lodb -cpio /dev/rtp -print
} 
} The files not on my backup, had just been created by the same user
} running the backup command, and I know for sure that they were owned
} by this user and that there were readable since it was done in two
} scripts (they are rather long, so I will not repeat them here), and I
} have been running these scripts several times before exactly the
} same way.
} 
The only suggestion I have is to change the command line so the output
of find is piped to cpio.  ie find . /appl/lodb -print |cpio -ovcB >/dev/rtp

We have been using this convention for many years without problems.
