Backup and recovery caveats¾DSPERU

NOTE: The UNIX ufsrestore utility does not provide the option
for estimating how a long a recovery will take. However, the
normal amount of time required for recovery is approximately 3
times as long as backing up the system.
Examples:
·
4mm Tape, DocuSP 2.X system, very few or no customer
files: 0:20 to backup, 1:00 to restore
· QIC Tape, DocuSP 6180 EPS 2.X, 500 Meg customer
resource files: 1:30 to backup, 4:30 to restore
· 4mm Tape, DocuSP 3.X, very few or no customer files: 45
minutes to backup, 2:15 to restore
Because recovery returns the system to the state that it was in
when it was last backed up, certain unexpected or undesirable
situations may be encountered. A list of known issues is
provided below and will be updated on a continuous basis.
Where available, a workaround is provided.
·
Accounting logs are restored to their previous values. If you
use the accounting logs for your own internal billing, you
need to be aware of this and make the necessary
adjustments.
·
Jobs that are saved on the system or in a Hold state are
restored. If you are sure that you do not want these job files
restored, you must delete them prior to performing a backup.
·
User and file permission changes made after a backup are
lost after system recovery. In some instances this could
pose a security risk and must be understood by your system
administrator.
·
Any software problem existing in the system when it is
backed up is likely to resurface after a recovery. Perform a
backup performed only on a properly functioning system. Do
not initiate a backup while the system is in diagnostics.
