       INSTRUCTIONS FOR BACKUP OF NETVIEW FOR AIX DATABASES

1) Exit all copies of the NetView for AIX user interface using the
   "File..Exit" menu item.

2) Stop all NetView for AIX daemons with the command
     ovstop

3) Create a tar file of the NetView for AIX databases with the command
     tar -cvf /dev/rmt0 /usr/OV/databases

4) Type "nv6000" to re-enter NetView for AIX.

*******************************************************

Of course, you can replace "/dev/rmt0" with whatever destination you
like.  Furthermore, if you just want to tar up the topology information
(ovwdb objects, ovw map information, IP and non-IP topology information),
you can just tar the information in /usr/OV/databases/openview.

If you want to backup non-database information (like registration files,
configuration files, application defaults, etc), it is best to make
a mksysb of your entire machine.
