Backup and Restore Operations

Creating a Tape

If it is necessary to restore a client but it is impossible or inadvisable to do so remotely, a server can copy a client's backup from disk to tape by selecting option 3 from Screen 8-11 rather than transmit the backup over the data switch network from its disk to the disk of its client. This option displays the menu shown in Screen 8-16. Select option 1 to copy the backup.

Screen 8-16: Tape Backup Management Menu – Server

Administration

TAPE BACKUP MANAGEMENT MENU -- SERVER

1. Copy a clients remote backup to tape

Enter Menu Selection

[ Type q to QUIT, ? for HELP, or ^ to GO BACK ] ==> 1

Tapes created in this way are indistinguishable from tapes created locally by a client using the copy all option (3 on Screen 8-9). Clients may, therefore, be restored by physically transporting a tape created from the Tape Backup Management Menu – Server from the site of the server to the site of the client, inserting the tape into the client's tape drive, and then restoring the client by invoking the command selective copy option (2) from Screen 8-10 on the client.

Network Access Password Option

The system administrator can require a password for the telnet command. When the option is set, the user is prompted for a Network Access Password before the DESTINATION prompt appears. The password is set by using the useradd com- mand at the root prompt, followed by the passwd command as shown below:
