Ignite selective vg00 backup ?

[steve_586]

Hi,

I need to make a revory image of vg00 but have 3 filesystems (application data) in vg00 that i do not want ignite to backup. Is this something simple to do?

Many Thanks

Steve,

You can do this quite easily using the "-x" include and exclude options. Here's an example from the man page:

"make_tape_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01
-x exclude=/depots"

Thanks for the quick reply.
Spent ages going through the forum and i should have looked at the man page first!

Thanks again.

Hey Steve,

One thing to understand that Ignite is not going to get a good copy of application data in a database unless the database is closes/shutdown, ie cold backup.

I have used it to clone entire application servers, its just the database portion had to be shut down.

Thanks for replying steve but the question was how not to include application data.
Good to know anyhow :)
