System recovery
Hi everyone
I'm green AIX user or rather beginner (light green).
Unfortunately I have to restore my system + data from scratch (things happen) and make it up and running. I've never done it before.
Can someone of you provide me with link/procedure/instruction how to do it?
Now I know only: install tape with mksysb and reboot your server.
I know this is not as easy but this or that way I have to do it no matter what and how long that's can take.
I run AIX 5.2
Thanks for any help.
