"Back up the system" via SMIT does  mksysb; that is backup root volume 
group to create a bottable image. All other volume groups are not included 
in this mksysb created backup!
You have to do this savevg-job ...

Try a  lsvg  to list all volume groups and  lsvg -l <vg-name> to check out 
the filesystems in the non-root-volume-groups and save them with savevg ...

Hi Maggie,

how did you do the "full backup"?
Suppose you are running AIX:
If you do a mksysb, only the rootvg will be saved. For any other volume
group to be saved you have to do a savevg ... Maybe /usr/OV/log on your
system resides in a "non-rootvg"?

Cheers
Dieter

I have done the system full-backup every night. ( supposed to backup all
files in the system )

But it has just discovered that it would not include directory /usr/OV/log


How can i backup this directory when doing full system backup ?
