TGBackup 26 TGBackup is an interim tape backup tool that supplements the DocuSP System Backup utility. Backing up to tape in not yet available in the Backup and Restore feature in DocuSP. TGBackup provides the ability to backup the system files to a tape. TGBackup is only available on a Sun SPARC workstation. TGBackup is installed on the DocuSP controller by the Xerox service representative. The TGBackup utility consists of the following files: ♦ TGBackup.htm - these directions in html format. ♦ start_tgbackup - the TGBackup launch script ♦ run_tgbackup - the script used to invoke backup on a reboot of the DocuSP ♦ tgbackup - the backup utility ♦ tg_checkswap - a script to check for and recreate the swap space ♦ start_tgrestore - the recovery launch script ♦ tgrestore - the recovery utility Performing a backup To perform a backup perform the following steps: 1. Insert the TGBackup CD. 2. Ensure the tape drive is connected and powered on. Insert a blank write-enabled tape cassette. If multiple tape drives are on the system, make sure that only the drive you wish to use is ready or online. TGBackup will use the first ready tape drive it finds. 3. Open a terminal window and logon as root user. 4. Enter the command cd /cdrom/cdrom0/TGBackup to change to the TGBackup directory. 5. Enter the command sh start_tgbackup to start the backup process; the script initiates a file system check then power the printer off. 6. Power the printer back on. TGBackup interrupts the boot process, locates the tape drive and starts the backup to tape. Once every ten minutes the screen updates with the percentage of the job completed and an estimate of how much more time is required to finish dumping the current file system. A typical system being dumped to 4mm tape takes an average of 2 hours.
