Administering the Archiving Services
One of the more common tasks of a system administrator is helping users
recover lost or corrupted files. To perform that task effectively, you must set
up procedures for backing up files at frequent and regular intervals. This
chapter discusses how to back up and restore files, and describes the
following tasks:
• Backing up data
– Choosing a backup schedule
– Performing a full backup
– Performing an incremental backup
– Performing a remote backup
– Using backup scripts
• Restoring data
– Restoring a file system
– Restoring a file system on a new partition
– Restoring files
– Restoring files interactively
– Performing remote restores
_______________________ Note _______________________
You can also use the SysMan dxarchiver command to perform
some of these tasks.
The Tru64 UNIX operating system has other facilities you can use to back
up and restore files:
• NetWorker SingleServer Save and Restore
A component of Tru64 UNIX, used for single system archiving, and
packaged as an optional subset to the operating system
• POLYCENTER NetWorker Save and Restore
A separately licensed product, used for networked systems archiving
