Create Emergency Recovery Backup Media
You will typically create Emergency Recovery diskettes and tape(s) only once—after you
have installed UnixWare 7.1 and all add-on software. The commands
emergency disk
and
emergency
rec
create bootable diskettes and tape(s) to archive your primary hard
disk. These commands backup both user and system data and allow recovery if your
system is ever non-bootable and/or the hard disk is damaged.
