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.

I'm feeling a bit punchy today, so I'm gonna have to go with B. Restoring the rootvg is like performing CPR on your system - it's the hero we all need!
