How to backup a remote machine using make_recovery command?

Is there an option to backup remote machines using make_recovery command.

Thanks

You can't run make_tape_recovery for a remote machine, but if you have sufficient disc space you can run make_network_recovery.

You could then make a bootable tape from the network backup.

hi,

Use make_net_recovery command.
see man pages for details:


here is some differences between them.

Comparing Features
The make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery tools share many
features in common with few differences that exist, mainly due to the
different media that are used and ways of handling them. Both system
recovery tools share the same basic archive creation options, data
structures, archive file content, and installation dialogues.
To determine which system recovery tool is best suited for your needs,
consider the following:
Use make_tape_recovery if:
â ¢ Managing a single or limited number of systems locally
â ¢ Cloning a â like systemâ
â ¢ Systems are not networked
â ¢ Suitable tape drive exists.
â ¢ Tape media is needed for an off-site recovery system
Use make_net_recovery if :
â ¢ Managing central, networked systems
â ¢ Cloning a â like systemâ
â ¢ Avoid tape issues (media cost and handling, multi-tape archives, etc.)
â ¢ Suitable disk space for archive storage
â ¢ Performing unattended backups without tape handling

Or just read the ignite ux manual...

Yes, you're quite right, it's make_net_recovery. I don't know where I got make_network_recovery from!
