Examine Key Files

Do Not Include These Files 
When you create your list of special files to be backed up, avoid including the 
following types of files:  
 
Any binary files from the /usr/local/bin directory or binary files from any other 
directory. These binary files may not function after the upgrade and may 
actually harm the upgrade.  
 
Library files from the /usr/lib or the /usr/local/lib directories. These library 
files may not function after the upgrade and may actually harm the upgrade.  
 
Files in the /dvs/dncs/bin directories. When these files are restored (after the 
upgrade), they will overwrite the new binary files associated with the upgrade.  
Note:  You should not need to back up any files in the /dvs/dncs/bin 
directories. However, if you have placed a utility in this directory and decide to 
back it up, our engineers recommend that you copy the utility to 
/export/home/dncs/scripts/MSOscripts
 before the upgrade. This 
directory is a default key file and will always be backed up during an upgrade.  
The following is a list of files/directories that should NOT be included in you key 
files list. 
 
Solaris operating system binary or library files 
 
Informix software binary or library files 
 
Any of the following home directories:  
 
/export/home/dncs  
 
/export/home/dncsSSH  
 
/export/home/dncsftp  
 
/export/home/easftp  
 
/export/home/dbreader  
 
/export/home/backup 
 
/export/home/secure  
 
/export/home/sysadmin  
 
/export/home/informix
