 \# The change history below indicates the specific fixes applied to the
\# current version/fix/mod level of Sysback. The last digit if the product 
\# level is the FIX ID, and is incremented by 1 each time a new fix level is 
\# released. Each fix level may contain more than one change. A fix level is 
\# released when either a high severity fix is included or after a
\# number of low severity problems are accumulated.
\# 
\# To tell whether a fix has been appiled, run "lslpp -h sysback.rte".
\#    For trial intallations:
\#       04.01.0000.1005 = Ver 4 Rel 1 Mod 1 Fix 5
\#    For product installations:
\#       04.01.1000.0005 = Ver 4 Rel 1 Mod 1 Fix 5
\#
\# The SEVERITY or TYPE of problem is indicated prior to each specific
\# fix. The codes are as follows:
\#    1 = Very High Severity. Fixes a problem which could potentially 
\#        cause data or system to be unavailabe until fix is applied. 
\#        Affects less customers than pervasive problems.
\#    2 = High Severity. Customers experiencing the problem would require
\#        technical support assistance in a resolution, although the
\#        problem does not pose potential data loss or system outage.
\#    3 = Medium Severity. Fixes a problem in a function which is not
\#        working as expected but customer can continue working
\#        normally.
\#    4 = Low Severity. This is usually a trivial fix which is not
\#        noticed by most customers and is easily worked around.
\#    C = Cosmetic fix only. Has no affect on program.
\#    D = Documentation change.
\#    E = Enhancement. Provides new or enhances existing function.
\#    P = Pervasive! Fixes a bug that will strongly affect many customers
\#        (i.e. fixes failure with installation process or a backup 
\#        problem that is not apparent until restore is attempted).

 0  08/05/97     Initial Release of modification level 4.1.2 
                 Includes the following changes and enhancements not
                 available in prior mod levels:
              2  Various potential problems verifying, restoring or
                 installing from virtual devices. 
              3  Permission problems prevented non-root users from
                 performing local or remote backups.
              4  Progress indicator indicated incorrect megabytes when
                 reading or writing greater than 4 gigabytes. (sbpipelist)
              4  Creating a network boot image failed at some AIX levels
                 if a network device did not exist. (mksbnetboot)
              E  Added "...backup successful" message output upon 
                 completion of all high-level backup commands.
              E  New (-X) flag and SMIT option added to exclude all non-
                 non-JFS logical volumes from volume group backups
                 without the need to add each LV to the exclude list.
              E  Bigfile support and allocation group size values added
                 to system configuration report for AIX 4.2+ systems.
              E  Added ability to display both status indicator and
                 file list during verify and restores. Both are selected
                 by default from SMIT.
              E  Added output at beginning and end of all backups and
                 restores showing estimated MB, actual MB, start and
                 end dates and times, and number of volumes.
              E  Added ability to alert any process of a volume change
                 occuring during a backup, verify or restore. User 
                 may set VOLPID environment variable to one or more
                 process IDs (i.e. "22811:34663"), and the processes
                 will be sent a SIGUSR1(30) signal when a tape reaches
                 end of volume.
              E  Added messages to SMIT menus that a user must be
                 logged on as root to use certain functions.
