Every 3 months we have to do backups (smitth mksysb/lsmksysb + tar) on at least 30 workstations. We have to carry around 2 external tape drives to connect to them.

In the several backups we do, we do a "smitty savevg" on about 15 different servers at the same time. Typing all the options on the savg screen is kind of long.
Is it possible to invoke the "smitty savevg" backups as command line (aix 4.2) but using all the options we always enter ?

Other then creating a exclude 'all' file. Is there a way to just create a nim savevg resource that contains just the minimum info to restore a vg. The vg's dirs and files are being backed up. -pete (0 Replies)

Hi All,
I need to take the backup of non-rootvg using savevg utility. I would like to know, if I can take the backup without shutting down the application & database. Is it possible to take the savevg backup safely when users are working on the system ?

I am trying to restore files from savevg.
I used to smit restore and gave the file location.
Savevg is taken to a mount point from San storage and not tape back up.
Can I restore just a directory from savevg?

svn-fast-backup(1) General Commands Manual svn-fast-backup(1)NAME
svn-fast-backup - very fast backup for Subversion fsfs repositories.
SYNOPSIS
svn-fast-backup [-q] [-k{N|all}] [-f] [-t] [-s] repos_path backup_dir
DESCRIPTION
svn-fast-backup uses rsync snapshots for very fast backup of a Subversion fsfs repository at repos_path to backup_dir/repos-rev, the latest
revision number in the repository. Multiple fsfs backups share data via hardlinks, so old backups are almost free, since a newer revision
of a repository is almost a complete superset of an older revision.
This is good for replacing incremental log-dump+restore-style backups because it is just as space-conserving and even faster; there is no
inter-backup state (old backups are essentially caches); each backup directory is self-contained. It has the same command-line interface
as svn-hot-backup(1) (if you use --force), but only works for fsfs repositories.
svn-fast-backup keeps 64 backups by default and deletes backups older than these; this can be adjusted with the -k option.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Shows some brief help text.
-q, --quiet
Quieter-than-usual operation.
-k, --keep=N
Keep a specified number of backups; the default is to keep 64.
-k, --keep=all
Do not delete any old backups at all.
-f, --force
Make a new backup even if one with the current revision exists.
-t, --trace
Show actions.
-s, --simulate
Don't perform actions.
