To configure clone.pl using the clone.cfg file, see
2. Back up partitions using tar.
Before you make the backup using tar, you must format and create a file system on the
partitions. Refer to
Preparing for Solaris Backup using clone.pl
The following example shows how to perform a partition backup on /var /usr on backup drive
c0t0d0 with all the debug options on.
#perl clone.pl -p ' /var /usr ' -L 4 -d c0t0d
The following sample command backs up the entire disk using tar because all the partitions
on the system drive are specified. When backing up the root partition or the boot block is
automatically installed. The tar backup method is the safest method for backing up a system
still running in multiuser mode (system up) as tar can copy open files.
#perl clone.pl -p '/ /var /opt /usr /mmf' -L 4 -d c0t0d
Note:
Avaya recommends that you make the backup during low system traffic so as not to
impact system performance.
3. Recover partitions using tar.
The following sample command recovers partitions /var and /usr.
#perl clone.pl -b off -r on -p '/var /usr' -L 4 -d c0t0d0
4. Recover files.
on page 158 under Executing clone.pl to restore the
entire partition and the needed files. To obtain individual files, mount the backup partition
with the files you want to recover and manually copy them back to the original location.
5. How to recover partitions, files, or root using a bootable CD.
a. If the system drive is corrupted, boot the system off the CD and do the recovery.
b. If clone.cfg is configured, recover partitions /var, /usr, and root. Copy clone.cfg to /tmp.
#perl clone.pl -b off -r on -p '/ /var /usr' -L 4
c. If clone.cfg does not exist, recover partitions /usr and root. Manually mount the slices on
the system drive before executing clone.pl.
#mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /tmp/ c0t0d0s0 #mount /dev/dsk/
c0t0d0s6 /tmp/ c0t0d0s6 #perl clone.pl -b off -r on -p '/ /usr' -L
