Hello,
we use backupios here.
The Process is most likely a mksysb Backup.
As root on Vioserver:
<snip>
DIR=/Where/your/backuppath/is
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
MKSYSBLOG=/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_mksysb.log
/usr/ios/cli/ioscli backupios -file ${DIR}/${HOSTNAME}.img -mksysb >> ${MKSYSBLOG} 2>&1
<snip>
Be sure to backup on a remote Filesystem (e.g. NFS-Mount).
For recovery install the Vioserver via NIM and mksysb Resource.
This works, but seems to be unsupported by IBM caused by the using root on Vioserver insteed of padmin. :-(((
Look at

I use a DDS4 tape drive and store the tapes offsite for DR purposes.
