Creating and using emergency recovery media
Emergency recovery media enable you to
recover your system if your hard disk experiences an
unrecoverable error. You should create emergency recovery
media immediately after you install your system, and again each
time you add or change system hardware and software.
The emergency recovery media consist of:
-
emergency recovery boot media (CD or floppy diskettes) created with
emerg_disk(1M)
-
emergency recovery backup tapes created with
emerg_tape(1M)
-
backup media, containing additional user and application data
The emergecny recovery boot media and tapes are usually created right
after you install your system, and do not need to be re-created unless
you change your system configuration.
Additional backups should be taken periodically, so that user and
application data can be preserved.
