Charles, The savevg command backs up a Volume Group (a collection of logical and physical disk space). We do the same thing on our AIX machine to cover against total hardware failure. A new machine would require the operating system (rootvg) and then we could "import" out saved volume group to the new machine with the minimum of fuss. I do not believe the resulting backup image can be interrogated for individual files (or any other _individual_ parts).
This is not a data backup in case of accidental file corruption - this is catastrophe protection.

I'm not familiar with this command, any info would be appreciated. The command they are using is: savevg -mif/dev/rmt1 raidvg > backup_uv.txt - Charles Barouch [EMAIL PROTECTED] (718) 762-3884 x 1 P.
