Make sure you know what you're doing,

You'll most probably find /usr/openv is in fact /opt/openv/.

Other than that though I have performed numerous upgrades 5.1 X and my
back out plan has always been an archive of /opt/openv

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up NetBackup on Solaris

Hello.

I'd like to upgrade an installation of NBU 5.1 to 6.5. As I'd
like to change quite a bit in the way the system is setup, I'm
actually rather planning a new installation of 6.5, after having
de-installed 5.1.

But to do that, and to have an easy fallback, I'd like to backup
the NBU 5.1 installation on the system (eg. to a tar file). What
do I need to backup, to be able to do an easy rollback? Is it
sufficient, when I backup the following:

- /usr/openv
- /opt/openv
- /etc/*.d/*netbackup   (init scripts)

Do I need anything else?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
