I'm trying to create save sets for our servers and clients and I am trying
to keep redundant backups to a minimum. Here's what I have and am trying to
do:

 

3 Solaris Servers: 2 are Data servers (NFS and SAMBA) one is NIS+ and mail.

 

NIS+ server has home directories and mail stored on a local hard drive.

 

Data1 and Data2 both have external arrays. These are pure file servers -no
databases etc.

 

I want to backup the data drives full once a week and incremental daily. - I
have this save set created.

 

I want to backup the System State of Data1 and Data2 once a week as changes
to configuration are rare.

 

I want to backup the NIS+/email server daily so disaster recovery is easy.
(I can use the ALL save set here)

 

For the Data1 and Data2 if I use the ALL save set they will backup the
external arrays too.

 

The documentation says ALL backs up all filesystems in /etc/vfstab. Does
this include /var /tmp /swap? Or do I just need to backup / ?

 

TIA

 

Ray
