Backing Up and Restoring Data on HP-UX EVFS Volumes Using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 6.0

Test Scenario 2

Test Scenario 2A - File Level Incremental Backup of an Encrypted Volume

This scenario illustrates the steps performed when successfully testing a file level incremental backup

of an HP-UX EVFS volume, by using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector.

The data is read in the clear from an encrypted volume and the backup image is written to a disk

partition, which is an encrypted volume.

Table11 lists the sample source and target for Test Scenario 2A.

Table 11 Sample Source and Target for Test Scenario 2A

Source/Target Description

Sample Source

Encrypted volume,

/dev/evfs/vg01/ldp_test that is enabled

for encryption and decryption. The volume is

configured on the client system,

evfs2.hp.com.The mount point in this scenario is

/dp_test.

Sample Target

Encrypted volume,

/dev/evfs/vg01/ldp_backup that is

enabled for encryption and decryption. The

volume is configured on the client system,

evfs2.hp.com.The mount point is /dp_backup

To perform a full backup of an EVFS volume and subsequently an incremental backup of the EVFS

volume, complete the following steps:

Step 1 To create the HP-UX EVFS volume on the client system, evfs2.hp.com, complete the

following tasks:

1. To create a source LVM volume for the HP-UX EVFS volume, enter the

following command:

$ lvcreate -L 600 -n ldp_test vg01

The following output is displayed:

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/ldp_test" has been successfully created with

character device "/dev/vg01/rldp_test".

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/ldp_test" has been successfully extended.

Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in

/etc/lvmconf/vg01.conf

2. To create a target LVM volume for the HP-UX EVFS volume, enter the

following command:

$ lvcreate -L 600 -n ldp_backup vg01

The following output is displayed:
