IGNITE - Net Recovery - Important Directories

[D Block 2]

My IGNITE SERVER system is running low on file system space, and I want to know which files to archive to tape. Once the Ignite Server "client" dependent files are backed up to tape, I can remove these files to save on space. I want to be able to save just one client net_recovery to tape archive.

Do I need to copy just these two files/directories ?

Two important directories only:

cd /var/opt/ignite
ls -ld clients/
ls -ld recovery/archives/


It so happens that this client is a Virtual Partition (I don't know if this matters, but thought I would mention it here.)


If you had to save one client off your Ignite Server to tape via tar, which files would you back up ?


run tar saving the client for future net_recovery purposes, if needed.


# tar cvh \
/var/opt/ignite/clietns/ \
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/

Notice, that the tar command is using the "h" option to maintain the links. There is a client from the name to the lanic directory.

Hi,

I would concentrate on the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives directory.

You will find a subdirectory for each of your ignite-ux clients. say for ex node1

# cd /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/node1

Here you can find the make_net_recovery archives with the name of format "date,time"

If you find more than one file, you can choose to back up the older file to the tape and delete.

Hope this helps
