If you are using checklist J, and if you are performing a reinstall because your system is not operating, it is in a "crash" state, and you do not want a backup in this state, then proceed to "Applying the Modification."

If you are using checklist J, and if you are planning to reinstall your system software, proceed with this section.

Before you reinstall your system software, perform a full system backup because reinstalling your system software DESTROYS all existing files.

You can run the buldacct utility prior to creating the backup. Running buldacct puts the BULDJOB1 and buldjob2 files in pub.sys. Using buldacct is the preferred method because later you can use the BULDJOB1 jobstream to rebuild the entire accounting structure and the buldjob2 jobstream to reset all UDCs that were previously on the system.

To backup using the BUldacct utility and the STORE command with the DIRECTORY option:

  1. From the console at the MPE/iX prompt, log on.

    :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
    :SPOOLER LP;START
    :STREAMS streams_device

    An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. A common streams_device value is 10. Already spooled and streamed messages might display.

  2. Mount blank tape.

    :FILE T;DEV=TAPE

  3. Run the buldacct utility to archive your current accounting structure and security restrictions.

    :RUN BULDACCT.PUB.SYS;INFO="@"

  4. Store files.

    :STORE @.@.SYS,@.@.@-@.@.SYS;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW

    or

    :STORE /SYS/, / - /SYS/;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW; &
    ONVS=volume_set_name1, volume_set_name2, ..

    where volume_set_name is the name for each user volume set you want to backup.

  5. Dismount tape, label as backup with date, time and system version.

  6. If you cannot locate a current SLT, make one now: 

    SYSGEN
    sysgen> TAPE

    NOTE: The BULDJOB1 contains system passwords. Do not keep this file on the system for longer than necessary.

    • Backing Up Your System for Reinstall completed. Proceed to the next section on your checklist.
