Backup the full system

[Ahmed M. AlShafiy]

i'm a new in HP-UX and i need to tack a full backup for our system, how can i do it?

[melvyn burnard]

USe fbackup, either via the command line or via SAM.

Better still, use Ignite/UX to create a bootable recovery backup which can still be a pri,ary full backup, and then use fbackup as an asdditional full backup

Hi ,

Use the following command for ignite/UX tape

/opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -A -C -v -d /dev/rmt/0m

Here /dev/rmt/0m is the default so you can use the command as

/opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -A -C -v

or more simply /opt/iginte/bin/make_recovery -ACv

The above command will creates a full recovery on the tape device . -C option is for crate log file.This log file name is /var/opt/ignite/recovery/makerec.last


But more important is you have top install ignite software in HP-UX .

Hi again

To backup full system, I recommend using Ignite-UX!
To check for Ignite-UX was installed in your system. Do "swlist | grep Ignite" will show you.

In order to make a full system. You can follow this command:

#make_tape_recovery -v -A -I -x inc_entire=vg00 -a

Hope this helps

If Ignite-UX hasn't installed in your system yet, you can download for the lastest version from here:

http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/download.html#d0e192

If you have big data that can not backup with DAT device, need to consider to another backup software for example Data Protector or Veritas backup, NetVault....
In this case, ask HP to get support!
Hope this helps
