Prerequisites

•For the omnib command to operate properly, add the MANAGER.SYS user to the admin group.

NOTE:

Due to the limitations of the MPE/iX Posix shell (utility nroff is not implemented), it is not possible to implement help for this command as a man page.

For a description of the omnib command, see the HP Data Protector command line interface reference.

NOTE:

On MPE/iX, the omniintro man page is also available in /usr/omni/docs.

Backup and restore of MPE/iX database

MPE/iX supports ALLBASE/SQL database and the TurboIMAGE/XL Database Management System.

When backing up the MPE/iX database, consider the following:

•To back up a complete database (all database files), perform true-online backup.

•To back up database files, select the account/group in which they reside.

Follow the standard backup procedure (see “Backup” on page 29). Additionally, specify user-definable backup variables (see “User-definable backup variables” on page 30).

To understand the options ONLINE and ONLINE=START, perform the online database backup.

If the ONLINE option is used, the files closed for write access are not backed up. The TurboSTORE/iX log contains the information about the files that are not backed up.

If the ONLINE=START option is used, all files are backed up, including those closed for write access. This is called true-online backup.

See “TurboSTORE/iX log files” on page 40 for examples of TurboSTORE/iX log files options ONLINE and ONLINE=START.
