(DP) Support Tip: Faster method to recover DataProtector on UNIX

A faster method to recover from issues with DataProtector on a UNIX cell server (HP-UX, Linux) would be to copy the three DataProtector directories on the UNIX  cell server :

      /etc/opt/omni/       /opt/omni       /var/opt/omni

Now, the Data Protector software should be shut down in order to get a clean copy with "omnisv stop".  The steps are below ;

       1. omnisv stop

       2. cd /etc/opt;  cp -R omni omni_etc_opt_bck

       3. cd /opt;  cp -R omni omni_opt_bck

       4. cd /var/opt;  cp -R omni omni_var_opt_bck

       5. omnisv start

Steps 1-5 could be done daily and even through cron depending on your backups.  You could certainly store each of the omni_*_bck directories on another machine.  If files get corruped in Data Protector, then it would be easy to shut down Data Protector with omnisv stop and bring the 3 directories back into the original location and import any media that has been written.
