Re: Which methods for full backup(no tape device) of whole system ?
make_net_recovery also supports to take backup of other vg's. But it depends how much space you can afford to have on ignite server
You can use tar or fbackup to take the non-vg00 backup and keep it on other server through NFS.

Re: Which methods for full backup(no tape device) of whole system ?
you can install client of a backup application (if you use one in your environment) and back data up over network to a cell server that has access to a tape device (either local or SAN attached). Examples of enterprise backup applications are Networker, Data Protector, Tivoli, Netbackup or others.
In this way you can backup raw devices, filesystems, integrate your client with databases and many other things.
HTH,
J.

Re: Which methods for full backup(no tape device) of whole system ?
Dear DND
Normally vgoo is mainly taking through ignite backup
and other things we can take backup by using backup tools like dp, legato etc...
this is the most common method adapting regarding backup.
u can include other volumes also in ignite
but it is not pretty.
thanks and regards

Re: Which methods for full backup(no tape device) of whole system ?
thanks for the suggestion.
in the vg01 vg02 vg03 directories, we have lots of data and configuration files.
if i run the ignite backup, does the data will include in the ignite backup as well ?
/uid/db1/users/data
users1.dbf
users2.dbf
users3.dbf
users4.dbf
users5.dbf
users6.dbf
undotbs1.dbf
system1.dbf
inx.dbf
redo.dbf

Re: Which methods for full backup(no tape device) of whole system ?
Dear Friend
what is the use of ignite backup?
it can be used to boot and recover a system
that has become unbootable due to corruption of the root disk or root volume group and normally we are taking ignite backup either in ignite server or tape.
understand ignite mainly using to bring up the system at minimum level.
u can use ignite server or tape to make ignite backup
once u added ignite clients in ignite server u can take the backup of all ignite clients with the help of igniter server
otherwise u havet to take backup of the system in tape or dvd etc...
tap is the more pretty.
thanks and regards

Please consider that Ignite is _NOT_ intended to be a backup tool for other than cloning or recovering the standard contents of vg00.
You _can_ include non-vg00 filesystems and/or directories, but this limits the usefulness of Ignite images.
In the case of mention, you appear to want to backup database filesystems. Unless you would do this when they are not in use, I would question why you would want to back them up.
If you don't have a local tape drive, it is still incumbent on you to deploy some off-server backup strategy. This might be tape or disk. Use that for your non-vg00 (non-opeerating system) files; not Ignite.
Regards!

Re: Which methods for full backup(no tape device) of whole system ?
There are two arguments you can use with make_net_recovery to include or exclude required volumegroups/files.
-x include=
-x inc_entire=
-x exclude=
Depends upon your requirement you can use the above options. For instance, if you want to take entire vg00 and vg01 and exclude some files from vg01 use this command.
#make_net_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01 -x exclude=/uid/db1/users/data/users1.dbf
