Network Ignite Back/Restore Syntax

[William Pribble]

Hello everyone,

I need help with syntax to run an ignite network back and restore from the command line. What I want is to script the backup. I want vg00 backed up. I want to exclude a large temp directory on vg00. I want to be able to boot from this backup. I want all volume group information to be included in the backup. I want the backup to be spent to my Ignite server serverA and place the backup in directory BackupB. What would the command look like? Also I would like to see the ignite restore command to restore this backup.

Thanks again for the help
Bill

Shalom Bill or Jeff,

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s ignite_server -x inc_entire=vg00 -a nfs_server:/scratch
/ignite/archives -C

To exclude filesystems that would be part of vg00 (or the VG you specified by inc_entire)
you could add to Steven's command line e.g.
-x exclude=/tmp -x exclude=/var/adm/crash
You could also tell to supress warnings by "-P s".
If the clients to recover already runs hpux you can remotely reboot ot for pulling the ignite image to recover by the "bootsys" command (see manpage).
