Re: OS BACKUP
If you need to recover your system use Ignite-UX command:
make_recovery -ACvd /dev/rmt/0m.

Re: OS BACKUP
If you want to take a Operating system backup you need to unmount the other file system.you can take a backup by using "tar" or "fbackup".
using tar:-
Before taking a backup unmount other file system (i.e /data1,/oracle or /user1)
find out the tape drive device file,by using
#ioscan -fnC tape (This will list available tape devices with device file)
For example i taking my device, device file as 0m
#tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0m / ( This will take entire backup under /)
#tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m ( This will restore your backup from tape to Hard Disk)
#tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m (This will list contents of your dat drive)
using fbackup:-
#fbackup -if=/(root directory) of=/dev/rmt/0m
you can invoke the fbackup command through "sam" also.If you want to take backup by using fbackup better use sam only.
By using sam you can include the directory or exclude the directory
sam steps as follows
1)#sam
2)file system and backup
If your system crashes (i.e not coming up) you need to use recovery media to recover Operating System.
best os luck

Re: OS BACKUP
The bottom line here is that investing in a UPS is cheap insurance. What is the cost of the machine downtime? What is the cost of the data that may be lost? On a workstation, you can do it for less than $200(US). For larger machines there is all kinds of used equipment out there very reasonably priced.
Maybe this is a little off topic, but I thought I would bring it up in case it has not been considered.

Re: OS BACKUP
If it is only your operating system you are concerned about, I recommend an Ignite backup (make_recovery). A script like this should do it :
#!/usr/bin/sh
make_recovery -Av -d /dev/rmt/0mn
mt -t /dev/rmt/0m offl
This will do a backup of your OS, and eject the tape when it is finished.
The great thing about make_recovery is that the tape becomes bootable, so if your system crashes you can boot from this tape, and it will "reinstall" your OS, and everything on vg00.
