Backup and Restore

ARCserveIT from Computer Associates

The Optional Services CD-ROM now contains ARCserve^®IT v6.6 from Computer Associates^®: an easy-to-use, comprehensive backup and restore tool for UnixWare 7 systems. Through an intuitive graphical user interface, ARCserveIT offers point and click file selection and icons for most operations. You can configure backup jobs once through user-defined scripts, which you can then schedule or re-use as needed, and the integrated database tracks backed up files and sessions for easy file restoration. All operations are easily monitored and reviewed through logs and reports. A wide variety of SCSI tape drives are supported to meet your individual needs.

Emergency recovery

An argument to emergency_rec(1M) allows multiple tapes to use the -e option. The optional Tapesize argument allows you to split the disk image across a number of tapes if the tape's capacity is smaller than the disk size.
