5.4.2 Backup to tape only

To perform backup to tape only, follow the procedure below:

  1. To back up a general file system, stop the application.

  2. Execute "11.2.2.1 acmbackup (Backup command)" to perform backup.

    • To perform backup to tape only

      Specify TAPE in the -m option.

    • Other tape-related specifications

      Specify the -b option to select generation management or day management.

      The following command execution example performs backup only to tape.

      [For Solaris]

      # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmbackup -m TAPE /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
      /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 acmbackup completed
      #
  3. The backup procedure is completed. Restart the application.

  4. If the application was stopped in step 1, restart the application.

Note

A backup to tape alone is performed by backing up data to tape directly from the transaction volume without using the advanced copy function. This prolongs the time during which the application is stopped.
