Air Cleaner User Manual

DVD is not created using the usual /usr/sbin/sysback command. Instead, you will
use the /usr/sbin/mksbcd command. This command has numerous options to
customize it to the needs of your environment. Therefore, you may opt to use the
SysBack SMIT Menus instead. If you would like to create your CD or DVD backup
using the SMIT Menus, you would access the following progression of menus:
root@lasher> smitty sysback Backup & Recovery Options
Backup Options Backup the System to CD/DVD
All of the SysBack Full System backup options that are available to you when
using tape or network backups are still available to you for CD / DVD backups.
The SysBack Backup Scripts and Schedules features do not support this backup
type. Also, the pull backup feature can not be used with this backup type.
SysBack’s ability to support multi-volume backups is supported with the new CD
/ DVD support.
Initiating a Restore
Restoring data from a SysBack created CD or DVD is no different than restoring
data stored on tape.
The same options for restoring portions of data are still available:
v Non-rootvg volume group level
v File system level
v Logical volume level
v File or directory level
The /usr/sbin/remakevg command will read CD and DVD media backups and
allow you to recreate volume groups, file systems, or logical volumes in the same
manner as if the data was stored on tape or in file images. You may also use the
same SMIT menu restore options as well.
If you would like to create your CD or DVD backup using the SMIT Menus, you
would access the following progression of menus: root@lasher> smitty sysback
Backup & Recovery Options Recreate Volume Groups, Logical
Volumes, or File systems
or
root@lasher> smitty sysback Backup & Recovery Options
Restore Data from a Backup
SysBack’s ability to support multi-volume restores is also supported with the new
CD and DVD support.
Boot and Installation
You may boot and install from CD / DVD just as you would with tape using
SysBack. You can also boot from CD / DVD and perform a network install as well.
Essentially, the CD / DVD devices may be used in any boot / restore / install
combination. Consider the following combinations:
