/opt/VRTS/bin/vxconfigbackup – Back up disk group configuration
- The vxconfigbackup utility can be used to back up the configuration information for one or more disk groups manually at any desired time.
- The vxconfigbackupd daemon automatically backs up a disk group’s new configuration to the default backup directory whenever the configuration is changed.
- The disk group configuration backup and restore utilities do not save any data in the public region.
- This includes only file system or other application data that is configured within VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) objects.
