Disaster Recovery files

[Rushank]

Hello,
As discussed in the following link, I would like to know the importnat files to be taken care for the Disaster Recovery,
Some of you mentioned about the scripts running on their site. Will you share this script with forum?? or give me an idea what are these *important* files

Thanks
Rush.

Rushank,

I have got a dirty script that can copy important files and dumps into a compressed tar ball in /tmp. You can copy it to some central repository. It's a simple script and you can add anything to it.

Shridhar,

Thank you very much. Your script is really helpful to start with.

Our procedure so far is to do a network ignite recovery and then restore /etc, /var/adm and /var/spool.
Are we missing anything important?

the output of:
bdf,kmtune,df,inq,lanscan,
swlist,swstat,vgdisplay

and the files which is
copied are:
fstab,group,hosts,hosts.equiv
inetd.conf lvmconf lvmpvg

This information is
stored in a separate directory
which is backed up.
