Backup and Restore

System Guide

2-9

The DSPERU tool was designed to be easy to use. However, 
some assumptions have been made regarding the level of 
knowledge required to perform various setup, backup, and 
recovery tasks.
Setting up the tool for use on a system and performing a 
recovery requires some level of comfort with entering UNIX 
commands. The commands are not complex, but if you have 
no UNIX experience, you may require assistance initially.
To initiate a backup, you must know your system root 
password and how to open a Terminal window.
The following levels of expertise are required to perform the 
necessary functions:
•

Set up DSPERU tool on system: Customer systems 
administrator, Xerox system analyst or service 
representative.

•

Initiate DSPERU backup:  Printer operator, customer 
system administrator, Xerox analyst or service 
representative

•

Initiate DSPERU recovery: Customer system 
administrator, Xerox system analyst or service 
representative

1. Insert the diskette containing the scripts into the diskette 

drive.

2. Open a Terminal window and logon as root user.
3. Enter volcheck to mount the diskette.
4. Enter sh /floppy/floppy0/dsperu_setup to launch the 

setup script.

5. Eject the diskette by entering cd; eject.

The setup script does the following:
•

Creates the directory /export/home/xrxusr/backup.

•

Copies the btt file to the /export/home/xrxusr directory.

•

Copies the dsp_backup_run and dsp_dump files to the 
backup subdirectory.

If DSPERU was previously set up on your system, an error 
message may be displayed when it tries to perform the setup 
again.
