Backup and Restore Operations
server, itself, was never backed up to tape, then the backups for the entire net-
work would be lost if the server were to suffer a catastrophic accident.
When the backup has been completed, the system will redisplay Screen 8-10.
To Restore from Tape
Note: You cannot use Release 1 or 2 backup tapes for Release 3.
To restore variable configuration files from tape:
1 . Enter lcsadm config backup at the root prompt.
2 . Select option 1 from Screen 8-8.
3 . Select option 3 from Screen 8-9.
4 . Select option 2 from the Tape Backup Management Menu (Screen 8-10).
5 . Insert a backup tape into the tape drive when instructed to do so.
6 . After performing a COMPLETE, Server, or Config restore (as shown on
the screen below), you must stop and then start all services.
To prevent inadvertently restoring files from one machine to another, the selective
copy function will only accept backup tapes that were created for the same
machine (this includes tapes created by a backup/restore server for a
backup/restore client).
The selective copy function allows four types of restores:
1 ... COMPLETE : Return the machine to the state defined by the backup.
........ : ......................................................
2 ... Password : User ids and passwords
3 ... Server : Centralized backup/restore control files
4 ... Config : Protocol and services configuration files
One of these types must be selected before the restore can proceed.
A COMPLETE restore is comprehensive and returns the machine to the state
defined by the variable configuration files at the time of the backup. All files and
directories are restored. COMPLETE or Config restores will abort unless the
TCP/IP protocol has been stopped.
