HP-UX 11.0 system backup

[Nagarathinam]

Hi all,
I am at present working with HP R380 servers with HP-UX 11.0. Two servers have been clustered with autoraid box in between. My systems are configured recently and I want to take a system backup of my latest configuration on tape and which is to be bootable.
Can anybody help me in this regard?


Thanks in advance.

Ignite/UX is the way to go. It will create a bootable tape of your system. But be aware that Ignite/UX is designed to only back up the OS (VG00) on your system and NOT the whole system.

The command you want to use after you have installed Ignite/UX is:

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

This command will make a bootable tape backup of your VG00 on your system. I would also make sure that any non-VG00 data is backed up somehow as well.
