Since when ???? You can use the IMAGETYPE=dynamic option !
>From the 5.2.x book: dynamic Replaces the dependency on the copy serialization value in the management class to perform an image backup without unmounting and remounting the file system read-only. Use this option only if the volume cannot be unmounted and remounted read-only. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the volume as is without remounting it read-only. Corruption of the backup may occur if applications write to the volume while the backup is in progress. In this case, run fsck after a restore. This option is valid for AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux86, Linux IA64, Linux pSeries, and Linux iSeries. include.image /home MYMC imagetype=dynamic "Stapleton, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/25/2004 11:27 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: Open file and image backups on Linux You can only take image backups of Linux filesystems if you can unmount the filesystem. This requirement will prevent you from image backups of filesystems containing system files, such as /, /var, /etc/, and /usr. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627 >-----Original Message----- >From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Sandra >Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 10:33 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Open file and image backups on Linux > >Dear All, >Please share your experience on taking open file backup and >image backup on Linux (including system files). > >I have been going through documentation and manuals, but there >are so many IFs and BUTs involved. > >My scenario is to take cold backup of Oracle 9i on Linux, >which is fine, but with this I need to take entire system >backup so that I can restore my server real soon in case of disaster. > >Please share practical implementations that you gurus are using !!! > >Thanking you! >This list has been a source of real good knowledge to me ! > >Kind Regards >Sandra >
