I would like to automate my mksysb's and implement a tapeless/CDless backup scheme. To do this I figured I would write a script to mksysb a file to an NFS share on a storage server.
This seems easy enough but I am unsure how I would restore these files if I needed to. Can anyone help shed some light on this? I have read in a couple of places that a NIM server is the answer but how do I serve mksysb files from a NIM master? Are there any onther ways to restore a non-bootable mksysb backup over the network?
AIX ver=4.3.3
Thanks
Alex
