BACKUP HP-UX 11.0

[ben dhib]

Hello,
I made a backup application software on a server, at the same time I have another server who has the same configuration materiel and software and I want to restore this backup on this server.

What are the problems which I can meet during the restoration?

Hi,
yes the 2 servers have the same hardware(disk space, processor, every thing)
the backup that i will restaor is about a messaging application witch is insalled on the 2 serveurs, once the backup is done on the first one, i want to restor it and use this files on the second server.

so the backup consist about files and not system data.

File locking because you are trying to restore a file that is in use is a very common issue.

Permissions/ownership issues are also quite common.

Dear Ben

u are saying u hardware and the configuration are the same ok
then u are talkign about u restoring the files backed up from the server wants to restore on second server. there is no problems to restore it ok. but u will face the problem regarding permissions.how u knwo the file permissions are same on both servers? so u should know specially the file permission of the u applications properly before proceeding restoration otherwise u have to make it after restoration

thanks and regards

Ben,

But what tool did you used to made the backup, different tools got different characteristics and if we know the tool that you used you could get a straight answer.

in the first server i have messaging system witch stors files to a database file, the second server use same files.
