Hello,

I'm trying to backup a server to the remote device through 'backup'
command. I know that mksysb and savevg won't do the job because they
don't support backing up data to the remote host. My question....does
'backup' command save all logical volume info?

Thank you!

Do you mean backing up to a remote device e.g. Tape, or to a remote
host ?

The backup command only backups up files and filesystems, so the
answer is no.

With mksysb, you can backup to a remote host using NFS, you would then
need to use NIM to install the mksysb.

backup and restore to/from a remote tape works with combining dd, rsh(or
ssh) and backup/restore via |

backup and restore can read/write to/from stdout.
