Hello everyone

I have a question

I have a server with red hat enterprise 3, but I need to backup my information in case that something happen.

How can I do this.

I usually use Aix but in this flavor I dont know how to backup.

Thanks for your tips and comments.

Are you backing up to tape or cdrom? Are you backing up the entire root drive or just a certain directory? Didn't you use cpio command on AIX to backup? You can use the find . -depth -print | cpio -ocv > /dev/???? device name path. Or something similar to it.

Thanks for your reply BubbaJoe

I would like to backup the entire root, this machine not have disk on SAN and all the information its on the same disk.

In Aix if I want to backup I do a mksysb and for the information that its not on rootvg volume group I do a savevg.

Thanks for your comments.

You can do something similar to mksysb with the dd command (similar) by using a tape drive or some remote directory via NFS/CIFS

dd if=/dev/sda of=<destination>
