Can't tell you about Framework but you know the answer for Netview, don't you?

You must back up all of /usr/OV/databases/openview.   You cannot backup just
topology, because it is integrated with the object and map databases as well.
tar will do a fine job for a backup, but I would use pax the restore it rather
than tar so that you preserve the sparse file space of the original.  Other
folks report that the AIX backup and restore command work quite nicely too.

Hi there,
Can any body tell me if I can backup the Netview topology, and the tivoli
database onto a tape any other way besides a mksysb command?
