autoloader that has a mode of operation called automatic or sequential, then placing the autoloader in this mode allows SysBack and the hardware to take care of all the tape changes automatically without human intervention. The hardware design of an autoloader's sequential mode will automatically load the next sequential volume when the tape is ejected from the drive. This behavior eliminates the need of an application, such as SysBack, to control the robot arm. This behavior is true across all tape autoloaders that have an automatic or sequential mode of operation. However, if the unit is a tape library where the tape loading occurs through commands issued to the robot, then SysBack can still work with the library provided that you create a simple script to handle the robot functions. Therefore, in essence, SysBack can work with any model library from any vendor. However, depending on the functionality of the library, you may or may not have to write a small script to control the robot functions for SysBack. 20.2.5 Partition backup, recovery, and cloning SysBack can be used to back up and reinstall the same partition, or to clone that partition image to another system or partition. You can also clone an image of a stand-alone system to a partition. The following examples demonstrate local and remote backups, partition recovery, and cloning. Other variations and options related to these procedures exist. Therefore, refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for System Backup and Recovery Installation and User's Guide, along with product readme files, for more detailed information about any or all of these tasks. The manual is available at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm .itsmsbr.doc/bmrug565191.htm The readme files are available in /usr/lpp/sysback after the product has been installed, as well as on the product media. 20.2.6 Partition backup and reinstallation (system recovery) This section demonstrates the basic tasks required to do the following operations: Perform a system backup to a device assigned to the partition: Perform a basic boot and reinstall from that tape.
