System Directory Backup
The system directory keeps track of the accounts, groups, users, and
files in your system. Nonsystem volume set directories keep track of the
contents of nonsystem volumes. When you back up either type of volume,
you should store its directory information so that you can rebuild your
system from backup tapes in the event of an unexpected data loss.
To store system directory information
The DIRECTORY parameter of the STORE command allows you to back up the
account structure and all HFS directories on system and/or nonsystem
volume sets. You may then reload the account structure and HFS
directories in the event of a system disaster by restoring them onto the
system from the backup media. You have the added flexibility of backing
up the directories of nonsystem volumes as a part of or as a separate
entity from the system. This allows a nonsystem volume to become a
separate reliable entity. System supervisor (OP) or system manager (SM)
capability is required to use the DIRECTORY parameter.
To store directory information on system volumes, use the DIRECTORY
parameter of the STORE command. For example:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
STORE /;*T;DIRECTORY
To store nonsystem volume set directory information, use DIRECTORY and
ONVS in the same command. For example:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
STORE /;*T;ONVS=VOL_SET_A;DIRECTORY
The example below shows how to back up the system directory and all other
files and a nonsystem volume set directory (NV1) and its files:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
STORE /;*T;DIRECTORY;ONVS=MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET,NV1
