Chapter 10 Planning Your Backup Strategy System backup is one of the system manager's most important responsibilities. In the event of a system failure or other problem, the system backup may be the only way to recover valuable data and application software. Your system operator backs up the application data and software, product software, some system files, and the system directory by using the STORE and RESTORE commands. As system manager you use the system generator (SYSGEN) to back up the operating system, system load utilities, and the system configuration. These are recovered when the system is booted from the system load tape (SLT). A complete system backup requires both the SYSGEN and store tape sets. In this chapter, you can find the following topics: * choosing types of backup * creating a backup schedule * performing a system backup * verifying your backup media
