Hi everyone. I've just aquired a perforce server running on linux at a new company. As a system admin, I know nothing about perforce, and very little about linux. I'm trying to creare a checkpoint file and journal so I can then back up the server- but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. I've read the manual, but I get stuck with the following command not being recognized: p4d -r -jc

p4d is not a recognized command. I know this is more of a linux/ file directory probleb (or so I figure) but I'm sure most of you are backing up and making checkpoint files. The directory structure seems to be as follows: /p4/perforce/perforce

the first perforce directory contains the following files: license netstat.txt p4_db_backup p4client perforce start

The second cointains the following files: checkpoint.6 db.depot db.group db.job db.protect db.user license db.boddate db.desc db.have db.jobdesc db.rev db.view p4d db.bodtext db.domain db.integ db.jobpend db.revcx db.working db.change db.fix db.ixdate db.locks db.review depot db.counters db.fixrev db.ixtext db.logger db.trigger journal

Can someone tell where I need to be to run the perforce checkpoint and journal?

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim
