7.2 Backing Up Your System Disk
Unless your newly installed or upgraded system disk will be part of a shadow set, HP recommends
that you back up the system disk before performing the tasks described in this chapter. If you
encounter problems while performing any of these tasks, having a backup copy of the system
disk ensures that you can restore it to a known condition without having to repeat the installation
or upgrade.
If your system disk will be part of a multiple-member shadow set, then a backup is not necessary.
Either form or re-form the shadow set, as described in Section 7.6 (page 118); this creates a backup
copy of the newly installed or upgraded system disk through the shadow copy operation.
Remember to dismount any added shadow set members after the shadow copy has completed,
