Operating Systems Solaris Can usfdump be used for backing up 1 directory? Post 302102752 by milo on Friday 12th of January 2007 12:31:13 PM

Hi,

I am using ufsdump to full backup harddisk of Sun to one TAPE which is assumed to have enough space for data 05 partitions:

# more /etc/vfstab
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s6 /usr ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s4 /var ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s7 /mmf ufs 2 yes -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s5 /opt ufs 2 yes -

Should I just use 01 command to backup 05 partitions like:
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 / /usr /var /mmf /opt

or I have to perform 05 commands for each like:
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /usr
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /var
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /mmf
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /opt

Appreciate all your help.
