Use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
back up files in your user /home directory and
virtual media files from your managed system to tape.
You must have a tape device mounted on the managed
system
to complete this task.
To back up user files or virtual
media files to tape, complete
the following steps:
- From the Service
Management menu,
click Backup/Restore. The
Backup/Restore page is displayed.
- Click
the File and Virtual Media Backup/Restore tab.
- In the Managed System File table,
select the files that you want to back up to tape. The /home/padmin directory
is listed as a single entry.
Click [+] Show Files to
have the table list all the files within the directory for individual
selection. Click [-] Hide Files to have the
table list only the /home/padmin directory.
By
selecting the directory entry you can back up all the files in the
directory by default.
- Click Generate
Command. Integrated Virtualization Manager updates
the page by replacing the Managed System File table
with an informational message that contains the command that you use
to back up the selected files.
- Copy
the command that the Integrated Virtualization Manager generated
and open
a terminal session window.
- Paste the command
into the terminal window and run it to
back up the selected files to a tape device.
You also can use
Integrated Virtualization Manager to
restore files in your user
/home directory and
virtual media files from tape. For more information see
