Hi all,
can mksysb execute when users still using the system.

Thank you

Hi ,

Yep no problems starting mksysb while users are logged on however there are some things to consider :

1) The mksysb may slow users down a bit.

2) The backup should not be done while there are system
configuration changes as these will not necessarily be
picked up by the backup.

Regards,

Oto
 
Shoux,

Working in the Recovery Business I would recommend you perform a mksysb with as few users and jobs running as possible.. This will ensure for a successfull backup of your rootvg.. Dont forget the -i flag

Goodluck
