Sorry...Im being noobie today...what the difference between make_recovery and make_tape_recovery ?!?!

[Tibi Baraboi_1]

I check and I do not have a make_tape_recovery. Did you check if it is not a link to make_recovery? or maybe a script invoking make_recovery?

Kevin,

Make_tape_recovery is the command used in newer versions of Ignite. Obviously, make_recovery is the older version. It is the standard recommendation that you get and use the latest version of Ignite, so you should be using make_tape_recovery.

Hello,

Yes Pete is right and make_recovery will be soon obsoleted. BUT ... There are major differences between these tools. For example make_recovery -A creates a usable image of your system while make_tape_recovery -A only includes files listed in /opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials ...

The equivalence of make_recovery -A is rather something like make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00

Kevin,

I have attached specifics on the enhancements introduced with make_tape_recovery (introduced in the 3.2 versions of Ignite/UX). These are excerpted from the release notes, found on http://software.hp.com.

You might want to look over the complete release notes, which provide a lotmore info. Here's a link to the release notes:

No problem, Kevin. Slow day at the office - and besides, I'd do anything for a beer.

One thing to look out for in make_tape_recovery. You should always set the backup to run to the no_rewind device e.g. /dev/rmt/0mn instead of /dev/rmt/0m
