NAME

vxconfigbackupd - disk group configuration backup daemon

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The vxconfigbackupd daemon automatically backs up information about a disk group's new configuration whenever the configuration is changed.

OPTIONS

-l

Logs backup daemon activies to the file /etc/vx/cbr/bkdaemonLog.

FILES

/sbin/init.d/vxvm-recover

Startup file for vxconfigbackupd.

/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.dginfo

Location of backup file for disk group information.

/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.diskinfo

Location of backup file for disk attributes.

/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.binconfig

NOTES

The vxconfigbackup command can be used to back up a disk group's configuration manually at any desired time.

The disk group configuration backup and restore utilities do not save any data in the public region. This includes file system or other application data that is configured within VxVM objects.

When a disk group is destroyed, its configuration backup information (including the backup directory) is also removed. The only exception to this behavior is when the disk group is in the precommit state of restoration.
