HI All,
Anyone know how to backup server database to tape? I know ACSLS has a script to backup server database to tape, it calls bdb.acsss but I don't know how to run it , thanks.

From doc
This is from ACSLS doc:
bdb.acsss
The bdb.acsss utility backs up the ACSLS database and miscellaneous library resource files for disaster recovery only. Use rdb.acsss to restore the database in the event of a disaster, as described in the System Administrator's Guide.
Format
bdb.acsss [-f db_file | tape_device] [-o]
Hint: If you enter bdb.acsss with no options, the backup utility defaults to the default tape device attached and configured to the ACSLS server.
Options
-f db_file
specifies a UNIX file to contain a backup of the ACSLS database. You must have write permissions to the file.
-f tape_device
specifies any rewind tape device attached and configured to the ACSLS server.
-o
is ignored; provided for compatibility with previous ACSLS versions.
That's great, If I specify it
That's great, If I specify it to backup to unix file, does it over write on that file ? Could I add it in the cron tab ? Thanks.
No need for crontab
If you run acsss_config (as acsss user) and select option 5 - "Set automatic backup parameters" you can have ACSLS backup it's own database. Backup will end up in /export/backup as {time_stamp}.tar files.
You can then rsync them off the ACSLS server or let Netbackup do it job.
