You can also perform scheduled backups of the Backup server indexes by using the savegrpcommand. Using this command also sends the bootstrap information to a printer or electronic file. For example:

# savegrp -O -c server-name
To use the savegrp -O command, you must be rooton the Backup server.

Bootstrap Save Set ID

The most efficient way to recover the bootstrap is to make sure you save the bootstrap information prior to a disaster. However, if you do not have the information, you must scan the most recent backup volume to find the save set ID (save set ID or ssid) of the most recent bootstrap. Use the scanner -B command because it always finds a valid bootstrap.

How to Find the Bootstrap
After you locate the bootstrap with the most recent date, run the mmrecov command, and supply the save set ID and file number displayed by the scanner command
Use the following steps to find the most recent save set ID:

1.Place the most recent media used for scheduled backups in the server device. 2.At the system prompt, change to the directory where you originally installed
Backup, typically, /usr/sbin/nsr.
3.Use the scanner -Bcommand to locate the most recent bootstrap on the media,
for example:

# /usr/sbin/nsr/scanner -B /dev/rmt/0hbn

Thescanner -Bcommand displays the latest bootstrap save set information found on the backup volume, as illustrated below:

scanner: scanning 8mm tape jupiter.001 /dev/rmt/0hbn scanner: Bootstrap 1148869870 of 8/21/96 7:45:15 located on volume jupiter.001, file 88
