Creating Backups to Minidisks

You back up the DRCT minidisk by copying it to another minidisk with the VMXBKP03 utility. This utility uses the file–copy utility that is specified on the ALTERNATE record in the PRODUCT CONFIG file, or, if that record is absent from the file, the CMS COPYFILE command.

VMXBKP03 copies all the files from the DRCT source directory minidisk to a minidisk that is owned by the user ID that uses the VMXBKP03 utility.

We recommend that you perform your daily backups of the CA VM:Director DRCT minidisk with either this VMXBKP03 utility or the VMXBKP02 utility (see above). If a hardware failure corrupts the DRCT minidisk, you can restore the source directory and put it back in service immediately from either of these backups.
