Ignite-UX System Recovery Tools - make_net_recovery
Overview
The command make_net_recovery can be executed locally (also using a Terminal User
Interface) as well as from the Ignite-UX server using the Ignite-UX user interface. It creates an
archive on the Ignite-UX or other Archive Server (must be an NFS server). It can archive the
root volume group AND other volume groups as well.
Note: Archiving VGs other than VG00 is not recommended because Ignite-UX is not a backup
tool. Backup other volume groups with proper backup utilities such as fbackup, pax, tar, etc.
The client specific configuration files are stored on the Ignite-UX server.
Large File Support for Archives Greater than 2GB on HP-UX 11.11
Ensure your system has patch:
