Configuring the Backup System

Before using the Backup System for backing up and restoring data, you must ensure that certain conditions have been met. The following topics explain in detail how to perform the following prerequisite tasks:

· Configuring Tape Coordinator machines

· Defining fileset families and fileset family entries

· Defining a dump hierarchy of dump levels

· Labeling tapes, if necessary

See Backing Up and Restoring Data for information on inspecting the status of these prerequisites. If all of the prerequisites are met, turn to the appropriate section in Backing Up and Restoring Data for information on using the Backup System.
