Limitations on Backing Up Persistent Images
•You cannot do incremental or differential backups of persistent images.
•You cannot use GFS rotation schemes when backing up persistent images.
•You cannot schedule a backup of a persistent image.
You must do a manual backup of persistent image files because each persistent image file name is unique in that it includes the date and time
•When you restore a persistent image, you must redirect the restore to a location other than the original persistent image location. A restore to the original location will not be successful.
