leveraging make recovery tape

[Vaibhav_6]

you have DB server and SAP. 1 TB of Disk attached. you have make recovery tape. what is the process used for leveraging make recovery tape.

Hi,

make_tape_recovery is the new version of make_recovery and is used only for backing up root VG data so that in some circumstances if your root disks corrupt you can revert back in minimal time. The application backup should be taken seperately.

HTH,

Vaibhav,

use make_tape_recovery for the system backup vg00 etc.
But with that kind of storage I would stongly recommend going to some other solution like netbackup etc. and a tape infrastructure that can handle multiple tapes with autochanger etc.

thanks

Hi Vaibhav ,

make_ape_recovery is used to backup your system , i.e OS & root vg , and can be used in case of system is not bootable or other related problems.

You can use to take a ignite backup using:
#/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -v -I -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

For backing up large volume of data / oracle DB you can use , DP or NetBackup or other backup software.

Cheers,
Raj.
