smsbackup(1M) creates a cpio(1) archive of files that maintain the operational environment of SMS. To create a complete and accurate backup, turn off SMS before running smsbackup. For information about manually starting and stopping SMS refer to the System Management Services (SMS) 1.4 Installation Guide .
Whenever changes are made to the SMS environment--for example, by shutting down a domain-- you must run smsbackup again to maintain a current backup file for the system controller.
The name of the backup file is sms_backup.X.X.cpio, where X.X represents the active version from which the backup was taken.
Restore SMS backup files using the smsrestore(1M) command.
If any errors occur, smsbackup writes error messages to /var/sadm/system/logs/smsbackup if /var/sadm/system/logs exists and /var/tmp if it does not exist.
