Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The mksysb command is used to create a backup image of an AIX system. This image contains a backup of the rootvg volume group of the system, which includes all the operating system files, configuration files and installed applications. This is documented in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide. More information on this can be found athttps://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.cmds3/mksysb.htm.

D sounds nice, but let's be real, who has time to back up all those volume groups and logical volumes? B is where it's at.
