====Operating System (OS) Backup====
If the following error-message appears on the screen then you can click OK to continue your work. 

     MESSAGE: No recent OS Backup found!
     Please perform OS backup (DISK0) in privileged account!
     %RMS-W-FNF file not found.

This message means that no operating system (OS) backup has been performed within the last 6 months. Please perform an OS backup as soon as possible by following the steps below:

1. Make sure there are no scans in progress and that the que is halted from all activity.

2. Log in to the calibration account: Since we have two scanners on the same system, login as either "calib3401" or "calib3309", depending if you need to backup the XtremeCT2 or XtremeCT, respectively. For microCT clusters, (best to do this on SCEVA3) using the username calib5019 and the password (ask Steve for this).

3. Type in the DECterm window:
          $ set proc/priv=bypass
Or Set priviledge to bypass by <code>$ spb</code>
          $ r um:uct_b     Or $ uct_backup

4. You will now see 2 additional buttons on the bottom left that is not seen when logged in as microct user. Push either the button "OS Backup to Disk DK0" or mount the specific OS backup tape and push the "OS Backup to Tape" button.
* A system backup to tape and to DK0 should both be performed. 

5. Check the command line & queue to ensure that the backup is being carried out. If you submit the job as 'batch mode' the backup is submitted to SYS$BACKUP queue and allows you to close the backup program and 'end session' without interrupting a running backup. Check with 'show queue' to see the backup job on the queue.

6. Exit the Backup Program and log out of the calibration account.

After a successful OS backup the message above will not appear for the next six months.

Alternatively a system backup can be completed using the command line, without using the uct_backup program. The instructions from Scanco can be found here. The advantage to this method is that you will be able to name the specific backup save set.
