7 Preparing For Disaster Recovery In case of a disaster you may need to restore all or part of the on-disk data of your computing environment. Basically you need a bootable system disk and a complete ABS/MDMS environment to restore all the rest of your data. This chapter explains the task to get you ABS environment up-and-running from scratch. The procedure differs slightly between OpenVMS and non- OpenVMS systems. 7.1 Disaster Recovery for OpenVMS Systems To recover from a total loss of your online data you need the following items for recovery: c. An image copy of your system disk d. A copy of your MDMS$ROOT including the database files e. A copy of your ABS$ROOT including all catalog files f. A copy of files of any other product required by ABS, such as your 3rd party scheduler product In all cases you need to keep the information about the saves in a safe place. This information is in the ABS save log and includes: a. The volume IDs of the tapes used b. The name of the savesets created c. The source path of the files being saved Note It is important to note the full pathname of the original location of the files. You can print out this information from the epilog procedure of the environment. 7.1.1 Backup of Your System Disk The easiest way to save your system disk is by using an ABS SAVE object like this: Example 7–1 Save Object for Disaster Recovery of System Disk Save: SYSTEM_DISK Description: System Disk Backup for Recovery Access Control: NONE Owner: BONFYR::FROEHLIN Archive: DISASTER_RECOVERY Base Date: NONE Delete Interval: NONE Environment: DISASTER_RECOVERY_ENV Epilogue: Preparing For Disaster Recovery 7–1
