jbhappy,
Thanks for the response. I checked and the contents of /etc/fstab are as follows:
Code:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad2s1d /opt ufs rw 2 2
Hence, I should be able to sump / to /opt, then pull that file off the server, and then back up /opt to / and then pull that one down.
So, am I correct in the assumption that the command
Code:
/sbin/dump -0u -f /dev/nsa0 /usr/src
backs up /usr/src to /dev/nsa0, which I think is a tape drive?
Would the following command then do the job?
Code:
#dump -0u -h 0 -C 16 -L -f /opt/path/to/backupfile /
Then move /opt/path/to/backupfile away from that machine altogether and delete it. Then do a
Code:
#dump -0u -h 0 -C 16 -L -f /path/to/backupfile /opt
and remove that file from the server as well.
Thanks for your help.
