Make sure you realize that ignite is only meant to backup the kernel and you need some other software (fbackup, DP, etc) to backup your user data.

Shalom,

make_net_recovery (see man page for syntax)
make_tape_recovery (see man page for syntax)

Those are your primary tools for creating Ignite backups. In general Ignite is installed unless someone ripped it out.

swlist -l product | grep -i ignite
# Displays installed ignite software.

You can get a new version of Ignite free from http://software.hp.com Search for Ignite.

Once downloaded you install as follows:

swinstall -s \*

Lets say Ignite is downloaded to /tmp

swinstall -s /tmp/Ignite.depot \*

Use the actual name not Ignite.depot
