Can I make ignite recovery image on CD ?

[Yaboto]

Hi,

I have an HP Data Centre without any tape drive. Can I create an ignite archive image of a server onto its rewritable CD/DVD ?

A CD is far too small to store a typical copy of VG00 (3-10 GB) and the latest Ignite/UX can create a multi-DVD bootable image. This assumes that you are using modern HP-UX servers.

However, if there are no tape drives, I would be concerned about the rest of your data. It would impractical (and unreliable) to backup many GB of data onto DVD using DVDs. I would also recommend using recordable DVDs rather than rewritable for better interchange and long term storage.

Most folks backup over the network with Ignite. Consider that option also.

Hello Aguissi.

YOu can solve this problem by using an ignite server.

you would use make_net_recovery command like someone above suggested.
