The server must be stopped in order to back up or restore its system volume, so a separate server is required for backup operations.
That is, at least two servers are required for this operation.
A system configuration example for backup and restoration of a system volume is shown below.
Figure D.2 System Configuration Example for Backup and Restoration of System Volume
Note
Specify the device (i.e.: /dev/sda1) in "/etc/grub.conf" file and "/etc/fstab" file. Refer to "11.1.1.18 Mount by Label/UUID" for details.
Point
If the backup source server and the server used for backup operations have different operating systems, refer to "11.1.1.11 Notes on Executing Copy Between Different Operating Systems".
