Thank you both very much for your replies. I'll answer your questions to the best of my abilities despite my ignorance to this system.
Re: rbatte1, the OS is SCO OpenServer Release 5 and we are running FASPAC software (apparently a very popular program for wholesalers in the nuts and bolts industry). I don't start the backups with a shell script. Typically, when I can log in successfully and I'm in my FASPAC program, I can just go to 'Utilities' and then 'Backups' from the main menu. If there is any shell or command prompt on here I am unaware of how to access it. I just figured there had to be something I could do to end the process outside of the FASPAC software as I can't get that far anymore.
Re: hicksd8, your reply has me feeling encouraged. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure where I would enter this text.
It might not help much but I'll attach a shot of what I currently have on my screen. It does mention the command prompt but this is something I've never really had to use. Thanks for any continued support here. I really do appreciate your time.

backup_addvolset
BACKUP_ADDVOLSET(8) AFS Command Reference BACKUP_ADDVOLSET(8)NAME
backup_addvolset - Creates a new (empty) volume set
SYNOPSIS
backup addvolset -name <volume set name> [-temporary]
[-localauth] [-cell <cell name>] [-help]
backup addvols -n <volume set name> [-t] [-l]
[-c <cell name>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The backup addvolset command creates a new volume set, by default adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume set's name
indicate the volume set's contents; for example, define the volume entries in the "user" volume set to match all user volumes. The volume
set name must be unique within the Backup Database of the local cell.
After issuing this command, issue the backup addvolentry command to define the volume entries in the volume set.
Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording them permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the
backup volsetrestore command to restore a group of volumes that were not necessarily backed up together. To create a temporary volume set,
include the -temporary flag. A temporary volume set exists only during the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the flag is
effective only when used during an interactive session (opened by issuing the backup interactive command). If it is included when the
command is issued at the regular command shell prompt, the command appears to succeed, but the volume set is not created. As noted, a
temporary volume set ceases to exist when the current interactive session ends, or use the backup delvolset command to delete it before
that.
One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the backup addvolset command, and any backup addvolentry commands subsequently used to add
volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for regular volume sets, because no records are created in the Backup Database.
OPTIONS -name <volume set name>
Names the new volume set. The name can include up to 31 of any character other than the period. Avoid other metacharacters as well.
-temporary
Creates a volume set that exists only within the context of the current interactive session. It is not added to the Backup Database.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup command interpreter presents it to
the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more
details, see backup(8).
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see backup(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following command creates a volume set called "sys":
% backup addvolset sys
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged
onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
