Solution 1
Depends what you mean. Backing up a file could be as simple as copying it somewhere else.
cp myfile /my/backups/myfile.bak
Solution 2
There's 2 included ways of backing up a file in AIX, the "backup" command, and the Unix standard "tar" command.
To backup a file with tar run:
tar cvf /tmp/backup.tar ./path/to/originalfile
To restore the contents of the tar file back to the original location run:
cd /
tar xvf /tmp/backup.tar
Solution 3
dump/restore if you use tape. Otherwise use tar. Bacula and Amanda automate backup, But need time for their adjustment and learning.
