Backing Up the VTS Server
It is recommended that you back up the Virtual TapeServer (VTS) server before and after any
major operation, such as an upgrade. This section describes how to create a system restore
image, to save
• All configuration databases
• root and bill home directories
• Some contents of the /etc and /usr/local/tape/etc directories
Note that a system restore image does not include virtual tape data.
To create a system restore image
1. Make sure VTS is not in use and that no virtual tapes are mounted.
2. Back up the VTS server, as follows:
a. Click Supervisor Functions on the navigation pane. The Supervisory Functions
page is displayed:
b. Click Create system restore image. The Creating System Restore Image page is
displayed.
c. When prompted, choose to save the .tgz file.
It is recommended that you save a copy of the system restore image (.tgz file) to a remote
system, for safe keeping.
