DOCUSP 3.74 NOTE: The UNIX ufsrestore utility does not provide the option for estimating how a long a recovery will take. However, the normal amount of time required for recovery is approximately 3 times as long as backing up the system. Examples: · 4mm Tape, DocuSP 2.X system, very few or no customer files: 0:20 to backup, 1:00 to restore · QIC Tape, DocuSP 6180 EPS 2.X, 500 Meg customer resource files: 1:30 to backup, 4:30 to restore · 4mm Tape, DocuSP 3.X, very few or no customer files: 45 minutes to backup, 2:15 to restore Backup and recovery caveats¾DSPERU Because recovery returns the system to the state that it was in when it was last backed up, certain unexpected or undesirable situations may be encountered. A list of known issues is provided below and will be updated on a continuous basis. Where available, a workaround is provided. · Accounting logs are restored to their previous values. If you use the accounting logs for your own internal billing, you need to be aware of this and make the necessary adjustments. · 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. 5-8 XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES GETTING STARTED
