Backup and Restore Operations
There are three types of partial restores, each of which restores predefined sets of
related files:
Password restores group id, password files, and shadow files, and the time
zone setting.
Server restores lists of authorized backup/restore servers and clients
and, for servers only, restores the archives containing all back-
ups for all clients. The directory /etc/opt/dk is restored as part of a
Server restore.
Config restores configuration files for the LCS60. The Config restore
will fail unless TCP/IP has been stopped.
Caution: When performing a Server or COMPLETE restore, the restored
database will be the database of the last backup. This means that
any new clients or any client backups since the last database
backup will be lost. Similarly, any clients or client backups
deleted since the last backup will reappear.
After selecting a type of restore but before prompting the user for final authori-
zation to proceed with the restore, the files and directories to be restored are
displayed. This gives the user an opportunity to verify that the correct type of
restore has been selected.
To List the Contents of a Tape
To display the contents of a backup tape, select option 1 from Screen 8-10 and
insert a backup tape into the tape drive when instructed to do so. Because this
function does not copy any files from the tape to the disk, it will work with
backup tapes that have not been created for the same machine.
Centralized Backup/Restore – Remote Mode
Access the centralized backup and restore operations by selecting option 2 from
the LCS60 Backup and Restore Configuration menu (Screen 8-8).
