I'm sure I won't be alone in offering DCL help for backups :o) If your IDE
drive is the same size or bigger than the drive you're backing up and the
IDE drive is initialised and mounted all you need to do is:

$backup/image dkcnn: dqcn:[000000]dkcnn.bck/save

'course, YMMV depending on how you want to do things - IDE drive as a proper
image copy, differential backups etc.
