The "Enabling zVM for Openstack..." manual has a section to back up xCAT
tables.
For the repository you can go to Provision->Files in the gui and download
individual files to your workstation.

Backing Up and Restoring xCAT Table Information
To back up your xCAT table information to your workstation, you'll need to
create a tar file that will
contain this information, using the following steps:
1. Bring up the xCAT GUI, authenticate into xCAT, as admin and create a
target directory for the table
tar file. You can create a subdirectory under /install by going to
Configure/Files, then clicking the
"New Folder" button. Here is an example of a directory called test:

Subject: [xcat-user] repository question
Hi everyone,
I'm working with XCAT under z/VM and have a question about the repository.
Is there an easy way to rebuild it on a running system?
I ask as I found it necessary to do that, to recover from some very odd
errors in the provisioning function, that had to do with missing scripts
and package lists. These errors were fixed after I removed the minidisk
housing the repository from XCAT's directory entry and the disk extent in
which the minidisk resided, and then restarted XCAT, after which it then
rebuilt the directory. I can repeat that process if required but was
wondering if there was a better/quicker/simpler way.
Kind regards
Peter
