 Unix Tip #4352- February  9, 2025
 
BACKUP INDEX LOCATIONS  
  
Couple words on your backups index.  
  
1) When doing backups on your systems  
make sure that your backup indexes are  
not stored on the same disks that you  
may need to recover files from.  If you  
loose the disk that the files are on then  
you still have your backups safe. If  
you loose the disks with your backup  
indexes, your files are still okay and  
the users will be able to work. You can  
then spend the day scanning your indexes  
from tape.  
  
2) Make sure that you backup your indexes  
occasionally using tar, dump, cpio or  
something else other than your normal backup  
software.  
  
 NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
by various unix admins around the globe. UGU suggest you read and
test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
production.
