6-8 Restore system from backup
Volume and backup information
Standard 1.0 System Installation and Modification Guide January 1998
Note:
All of the above features saved in a partial backup are
also saved in a full backup.
When you are running the Restore System from Backup utility,
the options that are used for a partial backup are
• DataOnly____fromThisTape
• DataOnly____fromOtherTape
• DataOnly____fromDisk
These options are toggled using the up and down arrow keys.
If a system is restored from a partial backup (a partial restore),
the user mailboxes on the volumes restored will be empty and
greetings will be lost. This is usually acceptable since voice
messages are so transient that it is of little value to restore old
voice messages.
Backup processes
On the card option, only VS1 exists. The only backup of VS1T
and VS1V is a full backup to tape.
On a single
-
node system, partial backup is done by backing up
VS1T, VS1V, and VS2T to tape.
Partial backups to tape on multi-node systems are done by
backing up VS1T, VS1V to tape. VS901T and VS902T. VS1T,
VS1V, VS901T, and VS902T (if it is a two-node system) are
then backed up to tape. The user profiles are then copied
(staged) onto VS901T and VS902T. Staging progress is shown
by the MMI as the “T” volumes completing, although only the
profiles are copied and not the entire text volumes.
