NFS mksysb script
Here's a script you can use to run mksysb backups of your clients to a NFS server. It is generally a good idea to set up a NIM server and also use this NIM server as a NFS server. All your clients should then be configured to create their mksysb backups to the NIM/NFS server, using the script that you can download here: nimbck.ksh.
By doing this, the latest mksysb images are available on the NIM server. This way, you can configure a mksysb resource on the NIM server (use: smitty nim_mkres) pointing to the mksysb image of a server, for easy recovery.
If you found this useful, here's more on the same topic(s) in our blog:
