Ignitebackup of standalone system, no tape drive

[Bjørn Kristian Tørseth]

Hi

Struggling making an Ignite backup of my system. The system is delivered with a DVR-RW, no tape drive.

uname: HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
model: ia64 hp server rx2660

There is a script named "/opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/make_opticaldisc_recovery". But this is designed to use an ignite server during the backup.

On previous tape systems, I just give the command "make_tape_recovery -A", then I have a bootable tape with a complete backup.

Any way to do the same to an DVD system?

Hi,

You could transform your server on a ignite server like that you must perform an
#make_opticaldisc_recovery Ignite_server_name
Look at the Ignite-UX Admin Guide
1 4.3 Creating a Boot CD/DVD or an Installation DVD
Hope it helps

hi,

if you have SAN attaced to the server you could use DRD to clone the system.

or

configure network ignite server and take ignite then write that into dvd.
