Hi Vera

I think Michal is right. The only way I know to go through this is to install an Ignite Server and take the ignite backup with make_net_recovery instead of make_tape_recovery. The Ignite server is included in HP-UX software and is easy to install.

Best Regards

Pablo

Hi Veera,

First install Ignite-UX server at server1 and client at server2.

Create net_recovery backup of server2 and after that create tape from this archive.

Hi

Remote backups have been a staple of UNIX for decades. Geez. Just google it in the itrc and you'll get hits. Here's the basics, you have to use .rhosts, verify with rlogin and start a remote backup with the remsh command or go through SAM. I'd go through SAM.

You can do the following before using the remote tape drive.

a. Enter name of both system in .rhosts
b. Enter name of both system in /etc/hosts
c. check rlogin works - If it is working your remote tape drive is ready.
d. Through sam - Networking and communication - System Access - Remote login
from Action menu - Add
User Access Allow *
Rlogin user passwd - Not required
Super user access - Allowed
Rlogin Super user passwd -
Root user not required -

Hi

You know, setting up an Ignite server is very easy when you use an NFS file system that is exported to the world and mounted in every client servers fstab.
