Andreas,
I have a confession to make ;-)
daily/weekly/whenever (without stopping anything):
tar -cvf whateveryoucallit.tar /usr/OV/
plus, let's say once a week on sundays at 3:00 a.m. something like:
# /home/root/bin/dofullbackup
/usr/OV/bin/ovwexit
/usr/lnms/bin/sa_term
/usr/lnms/bin/opt_term
/usr/OV/bin/ovstop -d
/usr/OV/bin/ovstop -v nvsecd
shutdown -Fm
mount all
chdev -l fi0 -a state=detach
chdev -l tr0 -a state=detach
/usr/bin/mksysb -i /dev/rmt0
chdev -l fi0 -a state=up
chdev -l tr0 -a state=up
reboot
...has been good enough for the last 3 years...
