this production server is an legacy.
my seniors taking over from the previous vendor, did not even do any mksysb backup until i join and ask them to do it.
that is where, I encounter so many problems with the restoration.
and the server has not been shutdown before.
i know from reading thru threads here, it is an terrible design, waiting for disaster to happen.
so until, the management gives me approval to change it, i am afraid i also cannot do anything.
once i do another mksysb backup excluding the two filesystems /opt/bea92 and /opt/filenet, i will find a chance to do the restoration at our Disaster Recovery vendor's site.
if the restoration is successful, i will stick to my workable ways to do restoration during Disaster Recovery Testing.
although more work to do and take more times.
thank you everyone for the help and advise.

Hello Guys,
Can before and after snapshots be used to verify successful filesystem restoration?
snapshots will be created using fssnaps and restoration is thru legato restore?
Any ideas on this? or any other ways I could verify that restoration is good?
