Hi,
You can do backup crossing NFS boundaries using fbackup tool:

# fbackup -n -f remote_system:/dev/

but you have to remember to set hosts in .rhosts file.

Hi,

Ignite-UX tool is the best for backing up HP-UX system configuration onto a bootable tape.

In case of a system crash, you can always recover your OS as well as its LVM configuration etc from the tape.

For more information, man make_recovery.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi Matteo,

dump/rdump supports a remote tape device, and we use this for all our workstation backups. So, if your tape drive is on host1 and you want to backup host2, run something like this on host2:

dump 0ubdsf 126 82000 467968 host1:/dev/rmt/0m /filesystem

The parameters may be different for your set-up, but this seems to work OK for us.

Rgds, Robin.
