Running a CMSADM file system backup
Overview
A backup copies the data stored on the CentreVu CMS computer to a
removable volume such as tape. Backups minimize the loss of data
caused by system failures or errors. Regular backups allow you to
recover data that would otherwise be lost.
Important! If you do not do backups and data is lost, you cannot
recover it.
The CMSADM backup consists of:
• Solaris system files and programs
• CentreVu CMS programs
• Non-CMS data you put on the computer
CAUTION: the CMSADM backup alone does not save CMS
data. Therefore, for complete data recovery, both CMS and
maintenance backups are required.
For instructions on running a full maintenance backup, see “Running a
maintenance backup” in this task.
