Figure C.7 Backing up to tape using a backup volume

The backup procedure is as follows:

  1. Stop the backup target server.

    After the server stops, check that the server power is off.

  2. Execute swsrpmake (Replication creation command) on the server used for backup.

    # /opt/FJSVswsrp/bin/swsrpmake -m SYSVOL@TRG-SV SBKVOL@SBK-SV

    (*) The command operand was specified in the format "volume name@storage server name", as shown in the examples below.

    • name of backup/restore target server: TRG-SV

    • name of system volume: SYSVOL

    • name of server that performs the backup/restore operation: SBK-SV

    • name of backup volume: SBKVOL

  3. For backup to tape media, back up the replica volume to tape media.

    # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmbackup -b DAY -m TAPE SBKVOL
  4. Activate the backup target server.
