backupios is used to backup a VIO server on an AIX P-series box (p570, p590, etc). It is run as "padmin". It creates a .tar file that includes a SPOT and a mksysb image of the VIO server. It can be used through scripts but must be referenced like this:
# ioscli backupios -file /mnt
The "-file" tells backupios where to place the backup image. The filesystem can be a NFS or a local FS.
