Downloading and Installing Sysback
How to get IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and System Backup and Recovery (sysback) software and install it
Unable to see tsmdev to restore Sysback image from TSM Server
During Sysback recovery on accessing the "Change Install Device Option" only local cdrom and ethernet adapter are available for restore no TSM Virtual Device (tsmdev)
Sysback backup fails with symbol resolution failures
Backup fails with 0509-192 message
Sysback backup to CD/DVD can fail with a "crfs" usage error
Sysback fails with: Creating 160 MB local temporary file system: /mksbcd/cd_fs .. Usage: crfs -v Vfs {-g Volumegroup | -d Device} -m Mountpoint ... Cannot Create temporary file system: /mksbcd/cd_fs Cleaning up .. FAILURE: Backup failed to complete.
Backup performance significantly decreases after upgrading AIX 5.1 or 5.2
After upgrading bos.mp, Sysback (or other) backups can take much longer to complete.
Handling tape or CD/DVD boot failures during a Sysback clone or disaster recovery
For various reasons, a bootimage created on one host may fail to boot a different host for cloning or disaster recovery. Because a failure during the boot phase leaves the system hung somewhere between the firmware and the operating system, troubleshooting the cause of the failure can be difficult and time consuming. This technote outlines the quickest, most reliable method for creating a valid bootimage for your target or disaster recovery host.
Sysback doesn't handle bosboot/bootlist correctly on mirrored boot LVs.
A Sysback full system restore with mirrored boot logical volumes doesn't run bosboot, or update the bootlist, for any but the first volume.
Sysback restore appears to hang after the message, "Checking backup contents.."
Sysback directory restores (as opposed to VG, LV, Filesystem, or File) may take a long time to process the files/directories listed in the TOC file.
Sysback clone hangs on reboot at "Welcome to AIX"
Sysback clone process works fine till end. But system won't boot after that. Boot process hangs at: Welcome to AIX closing stdin and stdout...

Recover rootvg over SAN using SDD, restores data, but bosboot fails with following errors 0301-154 bosboot:missing protofile:/usr/lib/boot/network/chrp.vpath.proto Error creating bootlogical volume
Sysback restore is very slow to complete
Restoring from Sysback, the restore takes much longer to complete than the backup took to make. Iostat is run concurrently with the restore shows iowait value to be high (> 40%) and kbytes written to disk is low.
Sysback backup can fail when buffer size is 1024 or larger
Backup can fail with: "sbwrite: Unable to write data to device /dev/rmt0.1!" when specifying a buffer of 1024 (-b 1024) or larger on AIX 5.3 AND when bos.rte.archive is below 5.3.0.50
Failing Sysback backup to IDE attached CD/DVD drive
Sysback backup to IDE attached CD/DVD drive fails with: "readcd: invalid argument, cannot send scsi command via ioctl."
Sysback Unable to read installation options from TSM Server
While performing Sysback system restore from the TSM Server, Sysback is unable to retrieve the backup images stored on TSM Server
Sysback low level commands for restore from tape.
In some cases the need to restore specific files or directories may be need vs. a full system restore. This document describes the commands and steps to perform such an operation.
Sysback backups/restores and the /etc/security/limits "fsize" parameter
Sysback backup fails with "Out of space writing to ..." or "0511-135 reached the user file size limit 2097151." during a sysback restore
