5. Ensure that the executable permission is assigned by
following this procedure:
a. Enter ls –l.
b. If x permission is not assigned, enter – chmod +x RBR.
6. Start the script by entering ./RBR.
7. Follow the instructions as they appear on screen to complete
the resource backup procedure.
·
If you are backing up a large amount of resources, you can
monitor the progress of the backup by opening an additional
Terminal window and entering:
tail –f /var/spool/XRXnps/log/Resource_BandR.log
· If you are backing up the resources to tape, you need to
know the device ID of the tape drive. There are several
ways to verify the ID and operability of your tape drive.
-
If you have only one tape drive, the ID is usually 0.
-
If you have two tape drives, each drive is assigned an ID
starting with 0.
-
You should use the mt command to check the operation
of your tape before beginning. Following are some
examples of the mt command.
mt –f /dev/rmt/0 status
mt –f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
mt –f /dev/rmt/0 erase
· When restoring files, the RBR script first makes a backup of
the resources that are currently installed on the system.
After the original files are backed up, the backup files are
restored, and then the original files are restored. This
ensures that newer files are not overwritten with older files
that are restored from the backup.
If this is not your intent, use the mv command to remove the
existing resources from their directory so that all the
resources from the backup are restored. For example:
mv /var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds
/export/home/xrxusr
·
Unless you are backing up files and restoring them to the
same software release, do not use the RBR utility to restore
the Stock Database programming.
You can use the Restore Stock Database option to back up
files from DocuSP 2.1 or 3.1 and restore them to DocuSP
3.6 or above.
However, if you restore the stock database programming
from DocuSP 2.1 to DocuSP 3.1, the database manager
