I'm looking for a system which does file migration in the style of various operating systems like TOPS-20. The idea is that you find files that haven't been used in a long time and write the files on tape and replace the disk file with a link of some sort. Then when the user tries to use the offline file they get an error about how the file is offline and can request that it be retrieved. Has anyone written anything like this? Ken

You might want to try BUMP (BRL/ U.S. Naval Academy Migration Project). Anonymous ftp to vgr.brl.mil or email mike@brl.vgr.mil for more info. Dennis
