Backing Up The Disaster Recovery Volume; Copying The Drf To A Floppy Disk - HP StorageWorks 8000 - NAS User Manual

Backing Up the Disaster Recovery Volume

The DRF is stored in a local system volume on the NAS server named
DISASTER_RECOVERY. You should regularly store a backup of this volume on
tape or floppy disk, or copy it to another system using NFS or CIFS.
You must back up the DISASTER_RECOVERY volume or you cannot use
the NAS 8000 disaster recovery features. In the event of a disaster, the DRF is
required as part of the general recovery process.
To make the DISASTER_RECOVERY volume shareable to other systems,
execute the following text commands:

Copying the DRF to a Floppy Disk

To store a copy of the DRF on a floppy disk, execute the following command in
the command line interface:
This copies the latest disaster recovery file to an empty, DOS-formatted floppy
disk. This command takes the files with a .drf extension in the
DisasterRecovery directory on the DISASTER_RECOVERY volume and
generates a new tar file called drf.tar. This drf.tar file is then placed on the
floppy disk that has been inserted into the floppy drive on the NAS 8000 server.
To restore the DRF from the floppy disk, insert the disk that contains the
drf.tar file, then execute the following command in the command line
interface:
addStorageShare DISASTER_RECOVERY /DisasterRecovery
setStorageShareSmbEnabled DISASTER_RECOVERY
/DisasterRecovery T DR
setStorageShareNfsEnabled DISASTER_RECOVERY
/DisasterRecovery T DR
