DocuSP Emergency Recovery Utility (DSPERU)
The DocuSP Emergency Recovery (DSPERU) utility is 
specifically designed for backing up and restoring DocuSP 
systems. The utility allows you to restore the system files to a 
hard drive that is larger or smaller than the one on which the 
files were originally backed up, assuming there is enough 
space on the target drive to hold the data. The utility formats 
the drives without the need to install Solaris before restoring, 
which saves from 30 to 75 minutes.
This section contains instructions for running the DSPERU 
scripts from diskette.
The DSPERU diskette contains the following files:
btt
change_log.txt
dsp_backup_run
dsp_dump
dsp_restore
dsperu_setup
format.ans
response.txt
sdpart_skel.txt
DSPERU limitations
The scripts on this diskette are still under development. 
There is limited error checking. Therefore, the scripts may 
display error messages or may not run as intended, if 
there are unexpected differences between your system 
and the systems on which the scripts were tested. 
DSPERU is designed to enable operational recovery of a 
failed system. It is not intended to substitute for a 
commercial backup utility or a robust Backup/Restore and 
Disaster Recovery plan. Data integrity upon restoration 
cannot be guaranteed.
DSPERU does not back up external drives. Use the 
Tapetool utility to back up external drive data.
DSPERU does not give the option of partial or incremental 
backups.
