Frequently asked questions

However, if a mapping contains more trays than the system
to which it is restored, only those trays that can be supported
are restored. And if the mapping contains fewer trays than
the new system can support, the restore is allowed.
What is the basic purpose of Configuration Backup and
Restore?
The basic purpose of Configuration Backup and Restore is to
save user settings for upgrade after an operating system
reload. Configuration Backup and Restore is useful for
restoring user configurations at a clean Solaris/DocuSP
installation or after a hard disk failure.
What is the basic purpose of System Backup and
Restore?
The basic purpose of System Backup and Restore is to save
a snapshot of the entire Solaris and DocuSP disk for recovery
at a later time. System Backup and Restore is useful for
restoring the system quickly after the corruption of the
software.
What older DocuSP tools do these options replace?
For Configuration Backup, the Bridge backup tool used by
the Xerox Service Representative. In addition, certain
information had to be recorded by hand or on hardcopy for
manual restoration.
For System Backup, the DSPERU or UNIX UFS dump
routines. DSPERU is still available to perform a System
Backup. Refer to the procedures later in this section for more
information.
What does Configuration Backup and Restore actually
save?
Configuration Backup saves user defined settings only. It
does not save operating system or DocuSP software. It does
not fix software corruption failures.
What does System Backup save?
System Backup makes a snapshot or image of the entire
disk, including the operating system and DocuSP software.
The image is saved in a special partition, /XRXBackup, on
the DocuSP hard disk. It will fix software corruption issues.
