Hi TQ,

Make_tape_recovery is the new command to create a bootable ignite tape.

make_recovery has been absoleted.

Mohd,

make_tape_recovery comes with the newer version of Ignite UX as Robert has mentioned.

make_tape_recovery has more features and can include and exclude whole volumes, directories/files.

Hi,

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -I -x inc_entire=vg00

hi,

i use:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

make sure -I is one of the arguments to prevent accidental system recovery incase u boot from a recovery tape by mistake.

i thot make_recovery's best option is -AvCd, but then again subjective.

u may also like to refer to this doc:
