Mark,

I am currently using Sysback/6000 to back up the root volume group and the
non-root volume groups for AIX 4.2.1.  Sysback will rebuild the volume
groups, logical volumes and file systems during a restore.

Sysback is available directly from IBM.  I recommend testing the backup and
restore so that you have a good understanding of the functionality of the
product.

Fellow ADSM'ers
I'm in the process of designing a disaster recovery plan for AIX.  We use
ADSM to backup our files, and I'm looking for a solution on rebuilding our
non-root
volume groups.  I want just the volume group, logical volume, and
filesystem information without the data.  I could probably script it (in
time), or I thought someone
out there probably already has a solution.
Thanks
Mark
