Make_Recovery vs Make_Tape_Recovery

[LG Porter]

What is the primary difference between "make_recovery -ACv" and a "make_tape_recovery" commands? Is there a difference at different releases of IgniteUX?

Hi:

'make_tape_recovery' replaces 'make_recovery' in the newer versions of Ignite. 'make_tape_recovery' is far superior and has the ability to include and exclude whole volumes, directories and/or files.

Download a current version of Ignite:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

Use this to create a tape archive for all of vg00:

# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Don't confuse the '-i' option of the old 'make_recovery' with the '-i' option of its replacement, 'make_tape_recovery'. The '-I' option of 'make_tape_recovery' is the *same* as the '-i' option of 'make_recovery'. '-I' means cause the Ignite process to be interactive when booting from tape.

Regards!

Hi,

make_recovery is replaced by make_tape_recovery in the newer version of Ignite and it has many more features. See man make_tape_recovery for more options. You can include files and directories too while backing up.
