(You shouldn't be using ignite to take a "full" backup, only for the OS.)

Where are you trying to send the backup, to a tape or an ignite server?

Hi,

Make sure you have the latest Ignite-UX Software installed and configured if you prefer to perform Ignite-UX Network backup.

I would recommend you to refer the HP Ignite-UX Guided Troubleshooting for step by step instruction on how to install and configure Ignite-UX and also perform network and tape backup.

Click here to access the HP Ignite-UX Guided Troubleshooting.

For Ignite-UX Server Side Configuration:

From the above link, navigate to "Configuration / How-To Guide" ->Ignite-UX Server Side Configuration

Hope this information helps.

What i mean for full backup is as ignite and for the OS and the ignite is taken on tapes

We really need the command line that you used to take your backup. When running make_tape_recovery, -n is used for storing config files on an Ignite server and not very common. If you have an Ignite server, then using tape seems somewhat awkward. The message is clear: If you use -n, then the server specified with -s must be an NFS server and your client must be an NFS client. This is a standard tape backup command line:

make_tape_recovery -IAv -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

where 0mn is the correct device name for your tape drive on this system.
