    dear AIX gurus,
    we hv NIM server setup. # /export/images
    our practise is mksysb_hostname_date
    all the system backup is written to that directory. how to backup from this directory to tape? can i backup that mksysb for that particular host to tape as bootable image?

    hope to hear from you. thank you

    how about your best practise. do we still need to save from disk to tape?

    If your NIM master is on the same site as the client then you need to keep an off site backup, it case it all goes down in flames, so off site tapes are one option.
