6.9 Backing Up Your System

1. Mount a write-enabled tape to create a backup SLT.

   
     :SYSGEN
     sysgen>TAPE
     sysgen>EXIT
   
   

2. Dismount the tape, label as SLT with date, time and system version.

3. We recommend that you stop running the STM diagnostics daemon in order to back up the files associated with it. To do this, run the STMSHUT.DIAG.SYS program.

   
     :stmshut.diag.sys
     diagmond has been stopped
   
   

4. Mount another blank tape and perform a full system backup.

   
     :FILE T;DEV=TAPE
     :STORE /;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW
   
   

5. Dismount the tape, label as backup with date, time and system version.

6. Restart the STM daemons by running the STMSTART.DIAG.SYS program.

   
     :stmstart.diag.sys
     STM Diagnostic Monitor already stopped.
     diagmond has been started
     Please wait a few minutes for diagmond to complete 
     initialization
     STM system manager started
