We have HP UX server, running Oracle DB and charging gateway software, now I like to do the full backup of them.
Is Ignite backup is enough ? or what should I do to do the FULL BACKUP ?
Thanks !

SolutionIf you have sufficient tape resources on your computer then you can backup the other volume groups with fbackup, but I usually use tar (a matter of habit, I confess). If your machine is on a network, I suggest you look into one of the networked backup utilities such as Data Protector, Netbackup, or Tivoli Storage Manager.

Thanks !!
Our system bdf look like these,
You have mail.
CG1:/home/CG1$bdf

So you mean, do the Ignite on Vg00 and fbackup on Vg01 and Vgstore ?
So when the CG totally crash, and when I do the recovery, and CG should back to normal immediately without any installations or configuration.... ?
Thanks !!

Yes. Use Ignite to create periodic recovery images of vg00 and some other tool(s) to perform you non-vg00 backups.
Depending upon the frequency with which you make Ignite backups, you probably also want to backup the most volatile configuration files on vg00 separately too. For example, if you have a large number of users who change their passwords, you might want to backup the '/etc/passwd' (or '/etc/shadow') file nightly. Then, if you ever deploy your recovery image to rebuilt vg00, you can apply the volatile file changes close in time.
Regards!

Yes. Or use another utility as I mentioned in my first post. Alternatives are cpio or even dd. But I recommend one of the backup programs I mentioned in my first reply.

The Ignite tape backup will recover your root volume group and configure the computer correctly. Do NOT bet the rent money on the word 'immediately'. The tapes can take a LONG TIME to run. But when it is done, your computer will be operational and ready for the recovery of the non-vg00 volume groups. All the mount points will be there, the filesystems will be built, but there will be no data files. The data files will come from your secondary backup system. So you need Ignite AND another utility to completely recover a crashed system.

Re: Full backup of HP UX ( included the Oracle ), ignite is enough ?
Our DB, Charging and others software are located inside VG00, so I guess the Ignite should be enough?
I did the ignite backup before, anyone could guide me on fbackup command ?

Re: Full backup of HP UX ( included the Oracle ), ignite is enough ?
Using Ignite to back up applications, databases or other data is NOT recommended.
Using Ignite to include the ORACLE_HOME binaries, or some other low volume software binaries is ok. But again, Ignite is meant for HPUX system recovery. Add more to it at your own risk.
