Backing Up the Customized
System Disk and Initiating Systematic Backups
After
you customize the OpenVMS operating system to your satisfaction
and perform the other steps recommended thus far in this chapter
that are relevant to your system, protect your work by making a standalone
backup copy of the system disk. To do so, follow the instructions
in
Backing Up Your System Disk.
For complete information about backup operations, including
a description of an alternative method that does not require booting
from the operating system media, refer to
Backing Up and Restoring the System Disk.
HP also recommends creating a systematic routine for backing
up the application, data, and user disks. For more information,
refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
