can not take ignite backup for vg00

[Aungshuman Paul]

Hi,


Can anyone help regarding the following issue:

One of our customer has DAT40 which capacity is 40 GB. But the root volume disk vg00 size more than 100 GB. Because , they create some lvm for their database and application under vg00.

Now I want to create make_tape_recovery for the system using the dat40. Is there any option that I can create make_tape_recovery for OS by excluding those lvm that is not part of the Operating system?

Use the -x exclude options to skip over the DB logical volumes. You can work it out so all you're backing up is the real operating system root volume, then when you need to recover, you load that and then use conventional DB recovery for the rest.

Yes. There is the option '-x exclude=' for make_tape_recovery.

Say you want to exclude the /dir1 and /dir2 directories from your m_t_r tape created on /dev/rmt/1mn:

# make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn -I -m tar -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/dir1 -x exclude=/dir2

Have a look at the make_tape_recovery man page for details.
