[speedyx]

Hi All

I have a problem to understand howto create a backup from all my raw-devices.

our envirement:
linux (suse 7,3) server with legato 6.1.3 client, backupserver w2k 6.1.3

i have following raw partitions:

# /etc/raw
#
# sample configuration to bind raw devices
# to block devices
#
# The format of this file is:
# raw<N>:<blockdev>
#
# example:
# ---------
# raw1:hdb1
#
# this means: bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/hdb1
#
# ...
raw1:cciss/c0d1p5
raw2:cciss/c0d1p6
raw3:cciss/c0d1p7
raw4:cciss/c0d1p8
raw5:cciss/c0d1p9
raw6:cciss/c0d1p10
raw7:cciss/c0d1p11
raw8:cciss/c0d1p12

raw25:cciss/c0d3p10
raw26:cciss/c0d3p11

question:
what are the steps to configure the backup from the whole raw-partitions via (separatly configured) legato-client)?

I don't believe you can.

- go to ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/German
- download the file tins_2001.pdf

You will find the answer in this doc. Yes, it is written in english.

hi,

You can do this via directives:
create in nwadmin a directive as the following and give it in the clients &quot;directive&quot; resource.


<< / >>
+rawasm: raw1:cciss/c0d1p5 <-- native path of disk
+rawasm: raw2:cciss/c0d1p6

------------------------------------------------------

make for each disk an extra line. The + means recursiv.

The raw-disk device backup works fine i use it also to backup the /dev directory of my laptop.

 

[speedyx]

okay, thankx LGTOBug
and in the client config i must configure also the
&quot;raw1:cciss/c0d1p5 &quot; path or only the map-path
&quot;raw1&quot;

??? thankx in advance speedyx

To speedyx ...

i just verified my statement - the file exists. The description is a chapter inside that document. Happy reading.

Try putting the raw device name in as the saveset name. At least on Windows, this works starting with networker 6.x, so you don't have to use a .nsr file. I believe it is similar with unix.

For instance

save /dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s4

Don't know how it works if you use a cooked alias.

Use the raw path not the mapped one.

+rawasm: /dev/hda1
+rawasm: /dev/hda2

and so on.
