Using a media device assigned to a remote partition
Remote backups are backups sent across the network to a remote machine or
partition. This backup type is easily accomplished after completing a quick,
simple, one-time Remote Services configuration.
For the purposes of this example, let us assume the following scenario:
SysBack is installed on both partitions.
The host name of the partition to be backed up is pluto.
The host name of the remote partition that has a tape drive assigned to it is
mars.
Note: The following references to server and client refer specifically to the
SysBack definitions only. A SysBack server may or may not be any other type
of application server, NFS server, and so on in your environment.
Because it is not possible to boot a partition from a tape device assigned to
another partition, a network boot of the partition is required. After the partition
has been booted over the network, you can simply direct SysBack to restore
from the remote tape device.
In order to perform a SysBack network boot, you must complete a one-time
configuration procedure.
