Hi, somebody please could send a procedure for backup full on UNIX-HP9000, with diskarray of 8 discs.
Thanks

[Steven E. Protter]

/usr/sbin/fbackup -i/ -f/dev/rmt/0m

This will work if all databases and apps are down. It will not back up open oracle databases and such whileup and running.

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -x inc_entire=vg00

Will craete a bootable recovery tape of the Operating System.

You may need two type of backups:
1) make_tape_recovery for creating recovery tapes. You need to have Ignite-UX installed on your system for doing this. You can use this utility for backing up the root VG.
2) Data backup through backup utilities. If you have any special backup software like Omniback, Veritas or Netbackup, then use that. If not, use HP's fbackup that came along with your OS. If you are not familiar with the commands, then use "SAM" for doing/scheduling this.

Make sure that you have a good backup device (ioscan -fnC tape) and have media in hand.
