Backing Up Files

To backup files:
1.

Insert a tape into the MCC tape drive.

2.

Execute the appropriate script:

-

To backup the entire file system, select /usr/ics/bin/fullbackup. Run this script
as root.

-

To backup all MCC files, including configuration and script files, select
/usr/ics/bin/MCCbackup.

-

To backup only MCC scripts, select /usr/ics/bin/scriptbackup.

3.

Remove the tape, label it, and store it in a safe place.

Note: The tape includes a date stamp and a dump of the disklabel. The

files are /usr/tmp/date and /usr/tmp/disk. They are included in the
tar file at the beginning of the tape.
