Auto Backing up Legato Indexes

The following is a suggested procedure to have Legato indexes backed up onto a chosen dataVolume daily upon completion of the savegrp.
Both file and media indexes are backed up.
This means that one can go back one day in case of the problem.

Prerequisite:

• The chosen dataVolume must be managed by a system administrator to insure space availability.
• Create directory "legato" on a chosen dataVolume .ex: /dataVolumes/ripro1.2.0/legato

How to configure the Notificatication mechanizm:

1. When using terminal/modem use "nsradmin –c" command to enter nsradmin .
   If working on the system consule of using macx – use nwadmin command.
2. Select Nsr Notification (terminal) or customize ->notification on macx.
3. Select Savegroup completion notification.
4. Paste the following line EXACTLY as shown at the end of savegroup notification, using the correct host and volume name.

Note :you will see that Legato inserts a "\" every time it brakes the command line.

• From the nwadmin (consule or macx) you will see:

From now on the indexes will be copied daily to the chosen volume (cd /dataVolumes/ripro1.2.0/legato in this example).

To recover it back into /backup/nsr:

#cd /dataVolumes/ripro1.2.0/legato
#nsr_shutdown -a
# uasm -s -i ./index | (cd /backup/nsr; uasm -r -iY );
# uasm -s -i ./mm | (cd /backup/nsr; uasm -r -iY );
