Hi:

Ignite software is compatible with all PA-RISC machines.

The installation of Ignite does *not* require a reboot, and takes just a few minutes to install with 'swinstall' once it has been downloaded.

You can obtain current software and documentation here:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/index.html

Once installed, you can create an Ignite recovery tape comprising your vg00 volume with:

# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Regards!

this software allow me to backup on a local dlt or dat the filesystem of my workstation
on the net?

an it's easy to make remote recovery tape?

matteo,

ignite will allow you to do a make_net_recovery to another machine, but I'm not to sure about the use of a dlt, because on a local host with a dlt you can not boot from it, but then again it could work?

As far as "backing" your system up, I'd suggest using "fbackup/frecover" to the other machine with the dlt.

Hi,

local backup on DAT or DLT is very easy (James already gave you an example). You will be able to boot from the Ignite tape, and recover your system.

Creating a backup on a (Ignite) sever is also possible. After a system disaster you can boot from the Ignite server, and recover your system, but this setup is a little more complex ;-)

regards,
Thierry.
