If you are using checklist J, and if you are performing a
reinstall because your system is not operating, it is in a "crash"
state, and you do not want a backup in this state, then proceed
to "Applying the Modification."
If you are using checklist J, and if you are planning to reinstall
your system software, proceed with this section.
Before you reinstall your system software, perform a full
system backup because reinstalling your system software DESTROYS
all existing files.
You can run the buldacct
utility prior to creating the backup. Running buldacct
puts the BULDJOB1
and buldjob2 files in pub.sys.
Using buldacct is the preferred
method because later you can use the BULDJOB1
jobstream to rebuild the entire accounting structure and the buldjob2 jobstream
to reset all UDCs that were previously on the system.
To backup using the BUldacct
utility and the STORE command with the DIRECTORY
option:
From the console
at the MPE/iX prompt, log on.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:SPOOLER LP;START
:STREAMS streams_device |
An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN.
A common streams_device
value is 10. Already spooled and streamed messages might display.
Mount blank tape.
Run the buldacct
utility to archive your current accounting structure and security
restrictions.
:RUN BULDACCT.PUB.SYS;INFO="@" |
Store files.
:STORE @.@.SYS,@.@.@-@.@.SYS;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW |
or
:STORE /SYS/, / - /SYS/;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW; &
ONVS=volume_set_name1, volume_set_name2, .. |
where volume_set_name
is the name for each user volume set you want to backup.
Dismount tape, label as backup with date, time and
system version.
If you cannot locate a current SLT, make one now:

 | NOTE: The BULDJOB1
contains system passwords. Do not keep this file on the system for
longer than necessary. |

Backing Up Your System
for Reinstall completed. Proceed to the next section on your checklist.
