That depends on what you mean by 'backup.' If it's just a list of files,
tcopy or dd could work. However, if you are trying to take a system image
like a mksysb file and trying to create a bootable tape, you'll need to
put some extra, undocumented files in three different filesets prior to
the backup itself. They need to be using a certain block size
(ostensibly), need to have a bootable image for that machine type and
release in it, and there's some other stuff I forget. I actually did this
manually, because we needed to create some bootable "mksysb-plus" tapes
that had additional raw logical volume contents on the tail end of the
tape, so I had to manage the creation of the tape myself from scratch.
This was before Sysback, but I don't imagine it's much different in scope,
even though the contents might be a little different.
Many thanks!
