If a disk crashes, how can ADSM be used to restore the latest backups
of the operating system files on UNIX platforms?
After rebuilding from some previously created copy of a minimal file
system plus ADSM client, how can ADSM be used to restore the latest
backups of files on the /, /usr, and /var file systems? Or do people
just run a full ADSM restore?
For example, on AIX, the minimal operating system could be restored
from a mksysb. But we would like to avoid making a mksysb every night,
just to back up recently modified files.
How can we avoid restoring (with ADSM) later versions of files to a
running operating system?
How platform-dependent would the procedure have to be? We are most
interested in ADSM clients on AIX (3 and 4),
UP-UX (9 and 10), and Sun (Sun4 and Solaris), but we also have a
couple of other platforms like an old Sequent or two.
Any suggestions?
thanks.
