backup disk
This command copies all information from the disk drive in the specified
processor carrier(s) to the tape system in the same carrier. This can take up to 40
minutes to complete.
On a simplex SPE, the default is to perform an incremental backup of SPE-A. On
a duplex SPE, the default is to perform an incremental backup on both SPE-A
and SPE-B.
NOTE:
The backup command can take up to 10 minutes to complete. Avoid
pressing the
ENTER key on the keyboard during this time, since doing so will
cause the result messages to be lost.
Parameters
Examples
backup disk
backup disk spe-b
backup disk active incremental
backup disk [spe-a | spe-b | active | standby | both | either]
[incremental | full]
spe-a Specifies a backup from the A processor carrier hard disk to the A SPE
tape.
spe-b This specifies a backup from the B processor carrier hard disk to the B
SPE tape.
active This specifies a backup of the active processor.
standby This specifies a backup of the standby processor.
both This specifies a backup of both processor carriers.
either Specifies a backup of both SPE carriers. If the standby is not accessible,
the command performs a backup of the active SPE.
incremental Causes all data marked “good” that has been changed since the last
backup to tape to be copied to the tape. That is, all files that have a date
newer than the date on the tape file.
full This causes all data to be copied from disk to tape regardless of the dates
and the state of the data (“good” or “bad”).
