Recover from a Failed or Aborted Offline Mirror Backup
You need to recover when the Offline Mirror Backup process is interrupted and
never completes. This could occur when someone or something killed the Offline
Mirror backup process before completion. For example, you experienced a system
crash while the backup process was running. If you receive the message below
when attempting to start a new Offline Mirror Backup process:There appears to
be another sbom_backup process running!

command: sbom_backup -RF. You may also use the SysBack SMIT menu interface to
perform the recovery.
