Backup procedure
¾
DSPERU
The following information and equipment are required prior to
starting the backup.
·
The root password
·
A tape drive connected and powered on with a blank tape
inserted. Ensure the tape is write-enabled (write-protect tab
in the closed position).
NOTE: The backup overwrites the tape cartridge that is inserted.
Ensure that no valuable data is present on the tape if it is not
blank.
The tape is overwritten with no warning.
NOTE: The system is rebooted during the backup process.
Ensure that the system is not actively receiving jobs before
starting the backup. It is recommended that you set all queues to
[Accept = No] and [Release = No] in the Queue Manager prior to
initiating a backup
.
1. Ensure a blank tape cartridge has been inserted into the
tape drive.
2. Open a terminal window and logon as
root
.
3. From
the
/export/home/xrxusr
directory, enter
ls
to list all
files. Verify that the file
btt
is listed. If it is not, repeat the
DSPERU installation procedure described in the previous
section.
4. Enter
sh btt
to initiate the backup. The system reboots and
starts the backup.
If the system returns the message
btt: not found
, verify
that you are in the right directory by entering
pwd
to verify your
location. If you are in a different directory, enter the following
command to change to the correct one.
cd /export/home/xrxusr
The system generates a message approximately every 10
minutes during the backup with an estimate of how long it will
take to complete the backup from that point.
NOTE: If all the data cannot be stored on one cassette, the
system pauses when it detects that the tape is full, and displays
messages similar to the following:
DUMP: End-of-tape detected
DUMP: 42.23% done, finished in 1:01
DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume '#2' on
'bugs:/dev/rmt/0n'
DUMP: NEEDS ATTENTION: Is the new volume (#2)
mounted on 'bugs:/dev/rmt/0n' and ready to go?: (yes or
no)
