make_tape_recovery(1M) make_tape_recovery(1M)
exclude filename | directory
Exclude the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and files contained
under the subdirectories. Note, file names may NOT end with a space.
make_tape_recovery reads the contents file to generate the list of files that will be used to create the
system recovery archive. The contents file may be modified by hand or by running
make_tape_recovery in interactive mode. When modifying the contents file, keep the following
points in mind:
• No essential file or directory may be excluded. Exclusions of essential files or directories will
be ignored.
• Exclusions take precedence over inclusions. Anything that is both included and excluded will
be excluded from the archive.
• The ordering of inclusions and exclusions within the defaults file is not significant.
• File names may NOT end with a space.
• The files and directories under NFS or LOFS mounts will not be archived.
Using Settings From Previous Archive Creation
The defaults file stores input specified by interacting with the make_tape_recovery GUI. Options
are preserved until the next archive is generated by interacting with the GUI. Command-line options will
override settings in the defaults file. The full path for the defaults file is
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/defaults on the Ignite-UX server (if the -s
server option is used). This directory is accessed via NFS from the client. If a server is not used, the full
path for the defaults file is /var/opt/ignite/recovery/defaults.

Saving the LIF Area
The LIF area of a disk will be archived and restored if it is different from the default LIF area. This means
if either the auto-boot line in the AUTO LIF file is not "hpux" or the LIF files in addition to ISL, HPUX,
LABEL, and AUTO are present, then the LIF files will be copied to /usr/lib/ignite_bootlif.
These LIF files will be restored to the LIF area unless a LIF file with the same name already exists or the
AUTO file contains something other than hpux.
Format of PA-RISC Recovery Tape
A PA-RISC Recovery Tape has two tape files.
The first tape file holds a LIF (Logical Interchange Format) volume. This LIF volume holds HP-UX boot
and Ignite-UX install environment content.
