That will work just fine. It's real fast too.

I've done that even though we have Sysback, which will do that too.

In the past I've rebuilt the structures with savevg and used Sysback to
restore the data.

Same process we do for the Sybase raw logical volumes.

Subject: [aix-l] Simple Disaster Recovery Procedure?

Folks,

We do a DR @ every 3 months for about 6 servers and would like to simplify
the procedures

At this point, we do the following:

Restore rootvg via mksysb

Reconstruct all non-rootvg volume groups, LVM and filesystems.

We then restore via TSM

What I propose goes as follows:

At our data center:

#savevg -ie datavg (for example)

in the exclude file, list the filesystems listed in the datavg VG
(what I'm assuming is this will get all of the filesystem data
without actually backing up data)

Then at the DR site:

Perform the restore of the mksysb first then,

#restvg -f /tmp/vgdata/vgname/vgname.data

Then use Tivoli to restore the actual data

What do you think?

Thanks!
