Re: fbackup

You can do this, but the better choice is ignite.

Because in case of fbackup you need to install the OS prior to restore the backup.

Try "man make_tape_recovery" ;-)


Hope this helps!

Re: fbackup

Your question has no meaning. Fbackup deals with mounted filesystems and vg00 consists of filesystems and raw LVOL's (ie swap).

Bear in mind that a full backup of the filesystems housed within /dev/vg00 while good to have to restore certain files is not suficient to bring a dead box back to life. The tool of choice for that is make_tape_recovery -- which is part of Ignite-UX. You need to install and read the Ignite-UX documentation and then you actually do backup /dev/vg00 -- just not with fbackup.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
