Well,
This just goes to show my unfamiliarity with veritas (this is the
first time I'm deploying it). When doing a "man -k" for dump,backup,vx I
never saw any commands to backup the system. the veritas man pages were
not in the man path - I had thought that the installation would have taken
care of that, guess not. When I went to the veritas books, I looked up
backup and dump and did not see anything about vxdump (when I looked up
vxdump it was there though). Now I know to look things up by keyword with
a vx in front when looking in the index of those books.
The anwser from around 50 people so far - use vxfsdump/vxdump. A
couple people have said they have used ufsdump successfully as it is a usf
file system.
I would like to thank everyone for not blasting me with "read the
manual" type responses. Not one negative, degrading response for what
actually turned out to be a really simple question.
Thanks,
Paul
