  1. INTRODUCTION

 

This document describes the reason for an the procedure to perform Manual Backups and Manual Restorations within the Integrated Solutions, Inc. organization. It documents the steps taken to implement the Manual Backup / Restore Procedure.

 

 

 

4.0 GENERAL PROCEDURE

 

Manual backups are generally accomplished using 90 meter tapes that are inserted into the tape drives configured to run on the Server to which they are attached. The files to be backed up, as well as the frequency and duration of their storage before the tapes may be recycled, will be specified by the client and the System Administrator.

 

 

    1. Tape Storage Time

 

    1. The storage time for the used tapes in this weekly procedure is (4) weeks.

       

    2. After four weeks of storage, the tapes may be recycled into new use

 

 

    1. Backup Procedure

 

    1. Nightly, after regular working hours (between 5:30pm and 7:00pm), the System Administrator assigned to the late shift on any given evening is responsible for loading the backup tapes into their respective drives.

       

    2. The System Administrator then executes the proper command to run the bakcups:

 

  1. Login to the server that the directories / files to be backed up are located on

     

  2. cd to the directory to be backed up

     

  3. Print the following command:

     

    find . – print | cpio – omBdvc > / dev / rmt / 0mn

     

    The 0mn instruction at the end of the command linw will vary depending

    on the identifying numeric systm of the tape drive and the type of

    compression to be used.

     

    The 1st character grouping represents the numeric label assigned to the

    numeric system of the tape drive and the type of compression to be used.

    [Normally, the drivers are labeled either 0 (zero) or 1 (one).

     

    The 2nd character grouping (m) represents the type of compression being used:

     

    m: medium compression

     

    hc: high compression

     

    n: instructs the tape drive NOT to rewind the tape after the data

    is recorded

     

    The 3rd character grouping (n) instructs the tape drive whether or not to rewind the tape after completing its command.

     

  4. If further tapes are needed to complete the backup, the command line

    will instruct you to insert a 2nd tape. At this point, remove the 1st tape and replace it with a second and enter the following command at the command line to continue the process:

     

    / dev / rmt / 0mn

     

    The last three character groupings should be exactly the same as those previously entered.

     

  5. The following day, the System Administrator who administered this process should retrieve the tape from the lab and take note if the backup was executed correctly and how many blocks were recorded. This is determined by looking at the command line where the backup was executed. The last line will show the number of blocks that were transferred or if there were any problems with the backup.

 

 

 

 

 

    1. Restoration Procedure

 

    1. Login to the server that the directories / files are to be relocated

       

    2. cd to the directory to be restored

       

    3. Print the following command:

 

cpio – imBdvc < / dev / rmt / 0mn

 

Again, the last three characters represent the drive number, tupe of compression,

and whether or not to rewind the tape (see Backup Procedure above)
