Making an RSD Copy of the Hard Disk
The VOL BACKUP SYSUSER ON RSD command copies
the operating software, updates, options, and database to
the RSD. If a hard disk fails, you can restore the system
software from the RSD to a replacement hard disk. See
Recovering from a Corrupted Hard Disk on page 140.
The hard disk is dismounted by SYSUSER during this
procedure. Loss of service results on non-redundant
systems.
To Back Up the Hard Disk of a Non-redundant System
1. Insert a blank, formatted RSD in the RSD drive.
See Formatting a Removable Storage Device (RSD) on
page 163.
2. Enter:
VOL BACKUP SYSUSER ON RSD
When the copy is complete, this message appears:
FSinfo: Backed up volume on device RSD with name:
SYSUSER
3. Remove the RSD from the RSD drive.
4. Label the RSD "MAIN Backup <volume name,
dd/mm/yyyy>".
5. Reset the system. Service is lost.
6. Store the RSD in a safe place.
