Utilities Used

You will use the following utilities:

• The bdb.acsss utility for backups to a:

  • specified UNIX file

  • tape device

  • default file and location

• The rdb.acsss utility for:

  • recovering the database from corruption

  • from changes that produce unintended results

  • from server failure

• The db_export.sh and db_import.sh utilities for migrating between versions of ACSLS. This includes going to a later release, or going to a previous release.

When you install ACSLS, you also automatically install the database management software. The ACSLS database is initialized after ACSLS is installed when you:

• configure the library hardware using acsss_config

• import a previous exported database using db_import.sh

• recover a database backup created on a different server using rbd.acsss.sh
