To back up the Backup Database, do the following:
1. Verify that you are included in the appropriate administrative lists. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to check.
2. If it is not already running, start the Tape Coordinator for the tape drive that you want to use with the operation. (See Starting a Tape Coordinator for information on using the butc command to start a Tape Coordinator.)
3. Issue the bak savedb command to save the Backup Database to tape:
$ bak savedb [-tcid tc_number]
4. Place the Backup Database tape in the drive, and press <Return> in the corresponding Tape Coordinator's monitoring window.
