Recovering from System Crash

108
In most cases, your system will recover from a system crash automatically if you reboot
the system. If, however, you have lost data on your system disk, and you cannot
communicate with your system using the mouse or keyboard, or over the network,
follow these instructions. The instructions assume that you have a backup tape of your
system that has been made using the System Manager backup tool, or with the
script. You also need a CD with your current IRIX operating system
/usr/sbin/Backup
level. If you are recovering data from a tape on a remote tape device, you need to know
the hostname, tape device name, and IP address of the remote system.
