DOCUSP 3.73 Helpful hints for using RBR 4-12 5. Ensure that the executable permission is assigned by following this procedure: a. Enter ls -l. b. If x permission is not assigned, enter - chmod +x RBR. 6. Start the script by entering ./RBR. 7. Follow the instructions as they appear on screen to complete the resource backup procedure. · If you are backing up a large amount of resources, you can monitor the progress of the backup by opening an additional Terminal window and entering: tail -f /var/spool/XRXnps/log/Resource_BandR.log · If you are backing up the resources to tape, you need to know the device ID of the tape drive. There are several ways to verify the ID and operability of your tape drive. - If you have only one tape drive, the ID is usually 0. - If you have two tape drives, each drive is assigned an ID starting with 0. - You should use the mt command to check the operation of your tape before beginning. Following are some examples of the mt command. mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind mt -f /dev/rmt/0 erase · When restoring files, the RBR script first makes a backup of the resources that are currently installed on the system. After the original files are backed up, the backup files are restored, and then the original files are restored. This ensures that newer files are not overwritten with older files that are restored from the backup. If this is not your intent, use the mv command to remove the existing resources from their directory so that all the resources from the backup are restored. For example: mv /var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds /export/home/xrxusr · Unless you are backing up files and restoring them to the same software release, do not use the RBR utility to restore the Stock Database programming. You can use the Restore Stock Database option to back up files from DocuSP 2.1 or 3.1 and restore them to DocuSP 3.6 or above. XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES GETTING STARTED
