2. Enter su.
3. Enter the root password for your system.
4. Change to the directory containing the script.
cd /opt/XRXnps/bin
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:
