It is a purchase product from IBM. See IBMs sites..



System Backup & Recovery Version 5 for AIX - SysBack - offers a comprehensive
system backup, restore, and reinstallation tool. SysBack is a simple to use yet
highly effective tool. All features may be used from the AIX command line or by
using SysBack's SMIT menu interface.

SysBack helps protect your company from the heavy costs associated with the
loss of vital data, applications and resulting system and personnel productivity.
SysBack is intended for customers using AIX 4.3 on their IBM pSeries
or RS/6000 systems.

Comprehensive backup and recovery options via a simple, efficient interface.
SysBack allows you to choose from several types of backups, including full
system (installation image), volume group, file system, file or directory and raw
logical volumes. SysBack allows for recovery of all or part of the system; and is
flexible enough to allow a system installation image from one system to be
installed onto another system with either identical or different hardware
configurations (cloning). Backup and recovery options are performed via a
simple, efficient SMIT menu driven interface or via a command line.

Central management and automation tools.
Sysback provides utilities to create backup scripts and schedules for easier task
automation. Furthermore, backup, list, and verify operations are now quickly
assessed via a completion status tracking log. SysBack's "pull" client backups
allow the administrator to centrally manage backup operations from a single
server (remote or local). By combining all of these features, administrators are
provided with a complete central management system.

Integrate network boot and install features in support of RS/6000 SP systems.
SysBack provides network boot features for those administrators that choose not
to boot from locally attached tape devices. New enhancements to the network
boot options now allow the utilization of existing NIM resources to supplement the
SysBack network boot process. With these enhancements, SysBack now
provides IBM RS/6000 SP system specific network boot and installation utilities.
The SP boot and install utilities allow for smooth installation and cloning
processes for nodes within the same, or between different, SP complexes.
 
thanks a lot for the details.. appreciated well!! till next time
