To back up the system disk, use the following procedure:
1. Decide whether you want to back up the system to another fixed disk or
to a tape cartridge. If you are using a tape cartridge, obtain a scratch
tape that you can use for the backup copy. A scratch tape cartridge is a
tape cartridge that is either blank or contains files that you no longer
need.
2. If you are using a tape cartridge, write-enable it. To write-enable a tape
cartridge, slide the write-protect switch away from the tape cartridge
label. Insert the tape cartridge in the tape cartridge drive.
3. Determine the device name of the drive holding the system disk and
the drive holding the backup disk or tape cartridge. Enter the SHOW
DEVICE command at the console prompt (>>>).
4. Boot standalone BACKUP as described in Section C.1.2 or Section C.1.4.
5. Enter the BACKUP command in one of the following formats:
$ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY source_drive: target_drive:
