How to CMS r17 Admin back up to network drive

[HBcity]

I performed a tape drive admin back up before but not backing up to a network folder.
I'm at the "Backup data" form and don't see an option to select a path to a network folder. Is it even possible to do a Admin back up to a network drive?

Did it once a few years ago... I think what you're looking for is in here:

Thx Kyle.

How do I get to the directories in Emulator?
t the Informix environment. Enter:
# . /opt/informix/bin/setenv

After I enter the SU - root - and the password I get this prompt:
(pricrfl)-(Primary)=#

 

[kyle555]

were you root before you ran that setenv command? I don't recall the prompt you got...

Also, I posted the Linux guide... I'm not sure if you're on that or Solaris...probably different actually

 

[HBcity]

NO I was not on ROOT. I thought the SU- root- was the command to get you to root.

I'm on Solaris..

Depending on the specific version of CMS you may have a variety of options available. On CMS 16/17 I have been using NFS to backup systems to a Linux system (Windows NFS is not supported). You need to understand Linux NFS, Firewalls, and scripting. I build a script to look for the mount prior to the backup and if the system is not mounted then I mount the NFS share. Either the Admin or Maintenance manual covers the actual running of the backup but you will need to build the NFS mount on your own.

My notes on my nfs setup are in this thread.
