Creating SLT

To create a SLT, run:

sysgen>TAPE (or sysgen>TA)

When the tape is created, you receive the message that boot backup was generated successfully. If an error occurs, a flashing TAPE ERROR message is issued to the console.

Create the SLT tape each time you make configuration changes.

For more information on SYSGEN, see the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual.

Creating Store Tapes

To create a store tape, perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as an ordinary backup. Additionally, specify the DIRECTORY option. This option stores the system directory information in the volset_name_DAF file on the medium. This is not a real permanent file as it does not physically exist on the system (it exists only on the medium).

IMPORTANT:

All users and jobs must be logged off the system during backup. If you need to access files during backup, perform the true-online backup (ONLINE=START option).

To specify the MPE/iX full backup options, make sure the user-definable variable DIRECTORY is specified in the backup options window. For the procedure, see “User-definable backup variables” on page 30.

Restore

To perform the restore, select the backed up objects and start the session. For details, see the online Help index keyword: “restore”.

Besides standard restore options, Data Protector offers MPE/iX-specific options as user-definable variables. For information, see “User-definable restore variables” on page 35.
