Re: Backing up several VG's with savevg

Sysback and Storix will handle this easily (both cost extra) (Sysback I know also backs up nonJFS filesystems and all VG information (even if you are not backing up the data in those VG's)

You can probably script savevg commands to /dev/rmtX.1, then run the mt (or tctl) rewind/offline commands to rewind/eject the tape afterwards. I am not sure how to add in rootvg (mksysb) as first image.

Hopefully this points you in the correct direction

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who can understand binary and those that can't.

I am running a P520 with AIX5.3, I have 6 VG's that I like to backup to one LTO3 tape. What is the best way to do this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
