Adding a configuration backup
A configuration backup virtual disk contains a database of
backup information to help the system recover following a
disk error. The configuration backup virtual disk is also
referred to as a configuration database virtual disk.
In the
Virtual Disk Manager,
create a configuration backup:
-
Select New from the Database menu.
-
Select Yes to include a dktab piece.
If required, add a number of
spool
pieces at this point and click on OK to continue
to allocate disk space for the disk pieces.
-
Allocate pieces for the database, as for any other virtual
disk, and create the configuration backup.
The configuration backup is visible in the
Virtual Disk Manager
as a virtual disk of the type database. To
examine the contents of the database, select Examine
Contents from the Database menu.
To modify a configuration backup,
select Modify
from the Database menu in the
Virtual Disk Manager.
(The New item is not
available if a database exists on the system).
