The list headers actually contain all subscribers and their options. This way you save list configuration as well. You can just copy them to a backup OR issue a get list name with the nolock option to have them emailed to you. Be sure you don't forget NOLock. You can refer to the online manuals here. http://www.lsoft.com/info/default.asp?item=manuals Regards, John -----Original Message----- From: LISTSERV give-and-take forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Adam Audette Sent: Monday, July 17, 2000 12:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [LSTSRV-L] Backing up subscriber lists Listserv maintainers -- What is the best method for backing up your lists? We are on an NT system running 11 lists and need that subscriber information backed up. I was just using a REVIEW listname and copying it to our file server until I realized a) how crude this solution was and b) how all my CONCEALed subscribers weren't part of the file. I have searched the archives a little -- found a long thread pertinent to VM but not NT. Thanks, Adam Audette
