Backup procedure - DSPERU

2-10
If the files and directory listed above are present, the
installation was successful.
The following information and equipment are required prior to
starting the backup.
• The root password
• A tape drive connected and powered on with a blank tape
inserted. Ensure the tape is write-enabled (write-protect
tab in the closed position).
NOTE: The backup overwrites the tape cartridge that is
inserted. Ensure that no valuable data is present on the tape
if it is not blank. The tape is overwritten with no warning.
NOTE: The system is rebooted during the backup process.
Ensure that the system is not actively receiving jobs before
starting the backup. It is recommended that you set all
queues to [Accept = No] and [Release = No] in the Queue
Manager prior to initiating a backup.
1. Ensure a blank tape cartridge has been inserted into the
tape drive.
2. Open a terminal window and logon as root.
3. From the /export/home/xrxusr directory, enter ls to list
all files. Verify that the file btt is listed. If it is not, repeat
the DSPERU installation procedure described in the
previous section.
4. Enter sh btt to initiate the backup. The system reboots
and starts the backup.
If the system returns the message btt: not found, verify that
you are in the right directory by entering pwd to verify your
location. If you are in a different directory, enter the following
command to change to the correct one.
cd /export/home/xrxusr
The system generates a message approximately every 10
minutes during the backup with an estimate of how long it will
take to complete the backup from that point.
NOTE: If all the data cannot be stored on one cassette, the
system pauses when it detects that the tape is full, and
displays messages similar to the following:
DUMP: End-of-tape detected
