Howto make a backup of only vginfo without doing rootvg

 ENV:
sysback.rte 4.2.1.X

 PROBLEM:
Customer wants to backup vginfo without doing a sysback or 
volume group backup.  He then wants to be able to recreate
the volume group without having to have backed it up.

*ACTION TAKEN:

Do these steps to encapsulate a vginfo file:

\# mkvginfo -f -v sbvg > vginfo
\# echo | sbwrite -T vginfo sbvg.TOC      

Make sure we can recreate:

\# remakevg -f sbvg -v -E -V myvg sbvg  --- make sure and leave off .TOC
Reading table of contents ..
Generating system information file ..

This should work.

1.  Suggested that he name the file something which won't be mistaken
for a volume group backup, ex.

sbvg.nodata.TOC
