centralize and administer backup procedures.
Using HP Data Protector involves setting up a database server and running software
that directs and records the backup process for clients. For more information, see the

Choosing HP-UX fbackup/frecover utilities
Use the fbackup and frecover commands to selectively back up and recover files.
The fbackup command can do the following:
• Indicate specific files or directories to include or exclude from a backup
• Specify different levels of backup on a daily, a weekly, or monthly basis
• Create an online index file
The frecover command restores backup files made using the fbackup utility. The
-r option to the frecover command is generally used for recovering all files from
your backup; the -x option is used for restoring individual files to your system. For
complete details, see the frecover (1M) and fbackup (1M) manpages for examples.
Locating Source Media and Codewords
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, locate the source
media needed for the cold-install or update. See the section called, “Media Kit Contents”
