Backup and Restore The file restore.log is used to record recovery activities. It is in the root directory of the DSPERU diskette. Please note that this diskette, and therefore the log is only readable on a UNIX system. The first line of the log, contains the time and date the recovery was initiated. To prevent the log from being overwritten the next time a recovery is performed, rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow related the date that the recovery was made (for example, restore040402.log). Checking the tape drive If the backup or recovery script generates an error message indicating that the tape drive cannot be found, perform the following steps: 1. If DocuSP is running, follow the procedures in your customer documentation to shut down and power off the controller. If the system displays a # prompt, enter halt. When the OK prompt is displayed, power off the controller. 2. Power off the tape drive. 3. Ensure that the SCSI cable connecting the tape drive to the controller is securely connected. If the tape drive is your systems only external SCSI device, there should be only one SCSI cable connected to the tape drive, and it should be connected to the In connector. If there are other SCSI devices (for example, external hard drives), ensure that the cable connected to the In connector leads back towards the controller (even if there is another device between the tape drive and the controller). Also verify that there are no bent pins on the connector. 1. If the tape drive is an older unit (for example, an 8mm DocuTech tape drive) with a 50-pin SCSI connector, a terminator must be installed on the Out connector if the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI chain. NOTE: The 50-pin connector is approximately 1.5 inches wide. Newer tape devices have a 68-pin Ultra-SCSI connector, which is 1.75 inches wide. NOTE: The 4mm and QIC tape drives are all Ultra-SCSI devices. These are auto-terminating so no external terminator is needed. System Guide 2-15
