MPE/iX System Utilities Reference Manual
Chapter 4 BULDACCT
The BULDACCT utility lets users with SM capability take a snapshot of the
directory structure on a source system running MPE/iX and recreate it on
a different destination system. It is especially useful for creating a
directory structure on a system without a tape drive where the ;DIRECTORY
option of the RESTORE command cannot be used.
BULDACCT also lets you migrate a set of accounts from one volume set to
another. This is useful with mirror disks, since they do not allow the
system volume set to be mirrored, and it may have accounts that you need
moved to a different volume set.
BULDACCT has been enhanced to support the hierarchical file system of
MPE/iX. As the default, BULDACCT automatically saves all accounts,
groups, users, hierarchical directories and the ACDs associated with the
directories. However, if BULDACCT detects that the operating system does
not support POSIX, it does not look for any hierarchical directories.
In addition, three new options have been added to BULDACCT: %NODIRS%,
%ROOT% and %NOROOT%. These options let you control the migration of root
and non-root hierarchical directories when using BULDACCT. Each option is
explained in the "Operation" section.
