Backup Raw Device
- Thread starter ouah
- Start date
hi,
in the man page of savevg it says ' A volume group must be varied-on, and the file systems must be mounted '
so from this raw devices are not filesystems and won't be backed up . Have you tried a savevg? if not try ut and have a look at what gets backed up ?
TO backup raw device , you can use the dd comand
dd if=/dev/rlv01 of=/dev/rmt0 bs=64k
