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

For more information on using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector to perform an incremental

backup of an HP-UX EVFS volume, see Test Scenario 2A. This scenario illustrates the full and the

subsequent incremental backup of encrypted data on an HP-UX EVFS volume.

Note:

You can also specify the pre-exec command to perform a file level

incremental backup. Specifying the pre-exec command includes enabling

the source HP-UX EVFS volume.

Restoring the File Level Incremental Backed Up Data to an

HP-UX EVFS Volume

This section describes how to restore backed up data on a file library device in the directory mounted

on an HP-UX EVFS volume (created from an HP-UX EVFS volume) using HP OpenView Storage Data

Protector.

Table 4 lists the source and the target for restoring the file level incremental backed up data to the HP-

UX EVFS volumes.

Table 4 Source and Target for Restoring File Level Incremental Backed Up Data to on HP-UX EVFS Volume

Source/Target Description

Source File library device or a device that

supports file system back up in a

directory on which the HP-UX EVFS

volume is mounted.

Target HP-UX EVFS volume

The HP OpenView Storage Data Protector receives the backed up data in clear text from the source

HP-UX EVFS volume, and the original HP-UX EVFS volume (target) re-encrypts the data.

To successfully restore the file level incremental backed up data to an HP-UX EVFS volume (originally

created from another HP-UX EVFS volume) using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector, complete the

following steps:

Step 1 Ensure that the source and target HP-UX EVFS volumes are enabled.

Step 2 Restore the data from the source to the target HP-UX EVFS volume by using HP OpenView

Storage Data Protector.

Note:

You can also specify the pre-exec command to restore the file level

incremental backed up data. Specifying the pre-exec command includes

enabling the target HP-UX EVFS volume.
