Hi,

What is the best way to backup my files/directories on AIX if I do not have root access to use SMIT?

if it's your own dirs/files (when you login), you can use tar or cpio. at least you have all the access right for the dirs/files

Hi

Try:
tar -cvf /dev/rmt0 ./yourfiles, or
tar -cvf /yourbackupdir/backupfile.tar ./yourfiles
