NAME | SYNOPSIS | DESCRIPTION | OPERANDS | FILES | SEE ALSO
ssp_backup creates a cpio(1) archive of files that maintain the operational environment of the SSP. You can use ssp_backup to maintain the same environment on the main SSP and spare SSP by backing up the main SSP and restoring the archive file on the spare SSP with ssp_restore(1M). Run ssp_backup on the main SSP.
When you change the SSP environment, for example by shutting down a domain, you must run ssp_backup again to maintain a current backup file for the SSP.
The name of the backup file is ssp_backup.cpio.
If any errors occur, ssp_backup writes error messages to $SSPVAR/ssp_backup.out.
The size of the backup file can be very large (20 Mbytes or more). You can minimize the size of the backup file by deleting SSP log files or message files that are no longer needed from the /var/opt/SUNWssp/adm directory.
The following operands are supported:
The name of the directory in which the backup file is to be created.
The following files are supported:
$SSPVAR/ssp_backup.out - ssp_backup log file.
