Make_recovery

GARREC CLAUDE — Mon, 22 Dec 2003 03:36:53 GMT

Hi
Someone suggest me to use the make_recovery or make_tape_recovery cmd to backup my system
but I couldn't find it

Is that command available on HP-UX 10.20
If not, is there something else

Thanks

You should get the software IgniteUX installed on your system.
You can download it from the HP-site

Hi,
Or, you can find Ignite on the HP-UX Application CD.

You want to download from the link that Bruno gave. That is the "A" version of Ignite/UX which is required for HP-UX 10.20. The link that Gideon gave is for the "B" version which will only run on HP-UX 11.X.

Once you download and install the product you will want to use the make_tape_recovery command. The command line I use is:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/?mn -I -v -m tar -x inc_entire=vg00

Note the that use of a no-rewind tape devcie is required.

Good luck!

You'll need to unmount any CIFS / Samba filesystems before running make_recovery. If not, tape will hang.
