Creating SLT
To create a SLT, run:
sysgen>TAPE (or sysgen>TA)
When the tape is created, you receive the message that boot backup was generated
successfully. If an error occurs, a flashing TAPE ERROR message is issued to the
console.
Create the SLT tape each time you make configuration changes.
For more information on SYSGEN, see the System Startup, Configuration, and
Shutdown Reference Manual.
Creating Store Tapes
To create a store tape, perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as an ordinary
backup. Additionally, specify the DIRECTORY option. This option stores the system
directory information in the volset_name_DAF file on the medium. This is not a
real permanent file as it does not physically exist on the system (it exists only on the
medium).
IMPORTANT:
All users and jobs must be logged off the system during backup. If you need to access
files during backup, perform the true-online backup (ONLINE=START option).
To specify the MPE/iX full backup options, make sure the user-definable variable
DIRECTORY is specified in the backup options window. For the procedure, see
“User-definable backup variables” on page 30.
Restore
To perform the restore, select the backed up objects and start the session. For details,
see the online Help index keyword: “restore”.
Besides standard restore options, Data Protector offers MPE/iX-specific options as
user-definable variables. For information, see “User-definable restore
variables” on page 35.
