How to Rename the Configuration Files Directory

The information in this section only applies to Backup servers.

Unlike the /nsr/index directory, the /nsr/res directory that contains the configuration files cannot be reliably overwritten while Backup is running. Therefore, mmrecov recovers the /nsr/res directory as /nsr/res.R. To complete the recovery of the configuration files, shut down Backup, rename the recovered /nsr/res.R directory to /nsr/res, and then restart Backup.

When the mmrecov program is complete, it displays this message:

The index for `server_name' is now fully recovered.

To complete the recovery of the Backup configuration files, follow these steps:

1. Shut down the Backup server using the nsr_shutdown command:

   # nsr_shutdown

2. Save the original /res directory as /res.orig, and rename the recovered file (res.R) to res.

   # mv res res.orig # mv res.R res

3. Restart Backup.

   When it restarts, the server uses the recovered configuration data in the recovered /res directory.

   # nsrd # nsrexecd

4. After you verify the Backup configurations are correct, you can remove the res.orig directory.

   # rm -r /nsr/res.orig
