hp-ux mksysb equivalent
Hi Guys,

Does hp-ux has mksysb equivalent with aix? Or something similar that you can save the system config.

Or you just backup the boot image, that's it.

Thanks in advance,
itik

man make_tape_recovery, see also:
make_boot_tape(1M), make_medialif(1M), make_net_recovery(1M),
manage_index(1M), pkg_rec_depot(1M), print_manifest(1M),
save_config(1M), swinstall(1M), instl_adm(4), ignite(5).
So ignite image can be on tape on network etc... and used not only after disaster...
can be used batch or interactive etc...

Good reading
