Backing Up the Customized
System Disk and Initiating Systematic Backups
After
you have customized the OpenVMS operating system to your satisfaction
and performed the other steps recommended thus far in this chapter
and relevant to your system, protect your work by making a standalone
backup copy of the system disk, following the steps explained earlier
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 CD or DVD, see
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.
