Backup and Restore • Jobs that are saved on the system or in a Hold state are restored. If you are sure that you do not want these job files restored, you must delete them prior to performing a backup. • User and file permission changes made after a backup are lost after system recovery. In some instances this could pose a security risk and must be understood by your system administrator. • Any software problem existing in the system when it is backed up is likely to resurface after a recovery. Perform a backup performed only on a properly functioning system. Do not initiate a backup while the system is in diagnostics. Troubleshooting Activity logging The file backup.log is used to record backup activities. It is saved in the /export/home/xrxusr directory. The first line of the backup log contains the system name and the time and date the backup was initiated. To prevent the log being overwritten by a subsequent backup, rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow related the date that the backup was made (for example, backup040402.log). To rename the log, perform the following steps: 1. Open a terminal window and logon as root user 2. Enter pwd to verify that /export/home/xrxusr is the current directory. If it is not, enter cd /export/home/xrxusr to change to it. 3. Enter ls to display the contents of the directory. One of the files listed should be backup.log. 4. Change the log name to your desired name by entering the following command: mv backup.log logname where logname is the name you have selected for your backup log. 2-14 System Guide

restored. If you are sure that you do not want these job
files restored, you must delete them prior to performing a
backup.
•
User and file permission changes made after a backup
are lost after system recovery. In some instances this
could pose a security risk and must be understood by
your system administrator.

Troubleshooting
Activity logging
The file
backup.log
is used to record backup activities. It is
saved in the
/export/home/xrxusr
directory. The first line of
the backup log contains the system name and the time and
date the backup was initiated.
To prevent the log being overwritten by a subsequent backup,
rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow
related the date that the backup was made (for example,
backup040402.log
).
To rename the log, perform the following steps:
1.
Open a terminal window and logon as root user
2. Enter
pwd
to verify that
/export/home/xrxusr
is the
current directory.
If it is not, enter
cd /export/home/xrxusr
to change to it.
3. Enter
ls
to display the contents of the directory. One of the
files listed should be
backup.log
.
4.
Change the log name to your desired name by entering
the following command:
mv backup.log logname
where logname is the name you have selected for your
backup log.
