Backing Up a VAX/VMS Client

Back up VAX/VMS client data by using the VAX/VMS backup utility.

Procedure

1. Run the BACKUP command on the VAX/VMS system to back up the required directories. Set the NFS mount root directory as the target directory for the Backup save set.

   Example:

   $ BACKUP [SOMEFOLDER...],[DATA*...] _DNFS01:[000000]X.BCK/SAVE_SET
   $
   

2. On the Linux client, verify that the Backup save set file is visible:

   [root@linuxserver root]# cd /lab/hpux03
   [root@linuxserver hpux03]# ls -l
   total 392784
   -rwxr-x--- 1 4294967294 4294967294 401812992 Jan  5 09:05 x.bck
   [root@linuxserer hpux03]#
   

3. On the CommServe computer, create a subclient for the Linux client to back up the directory where the Backup save set was created (because the BACKUP command creates a hidden file which must be backed up and restored).

4. On the CommServe computer, back up the subclient.
