    Sysback Gurus,

    We're doing mksysb's to DVD's now and have constructed scripts that work
    just fine. We go thru smit, make the appropiate selections, and the
    backup work just fine. We then create a script to run thru cron by
    doing a F6 in smit and pulling out the command line. Below is an
    example of the basic F6 output. And yes, we know to strip off the
    /usr/...-s7, part. My question is: what does the -2 option stand for?
    I've downloaded the Installation and User's Guide, Version 5.6, but
    can't find any reference to -2. I've tried making changes to the smit
    screen, doing a F6, in hopes of finding what can change the -2 option
    but nothing seems to make a difference. As I indicated, the script
    works fine with the -2, but being anal, I would really appreciate it if
    anyone could decode it for me.

    /usr/sbin/sbsmitout -s7 mksbcd -2 -f'/dev/cd0' -T 'D' -G 'chrp' -
    i'10291449' '-p' '-x' -k '64'

    Thanks,
    Harold Hass
