    If you can't umount the file systems in the AIX system to do a raw
backup, the best way is export the disks using BCV, snap or another way
supported by your array to another media server or another disks in the =
same
media server and do the backup using raw device.

Assunto: [Veritas-bu] Alternatives backups for small files



Hi,

I have got some 6 million files on my AIX 5.1 box, taking hours to =
backup. I
understand this is the issue with too many small files.=20

As Veritas do not support Flash backup on AIX 5.1 media server, we are =
now
trying out for alternatives. Is there any one who tried out this? pls =
share
your views.

What happens if the AIX production LUNS are exported to other UNIX or
Windows media servers. If the same LUN (containing AIX JFS file system) =
is
exported and seen by both hosts: one AIX and one non-AIX host. The =
non-AIX
system will never mount it but always accesses it as raw device for
NetBackup RAW backup. The non-AIX machine should not do damage to the =
AIX
production LUNs when recognizing the LUN.

Kind Regards

-Arun



Have a great day!!=20
