Thanks for reply
What Operating System do you have?
I am using AIX .
Are the source and destination on the same mountpoint? If they are on the same mountpoint, is there enough disc space to copy the lot then delete the source if it is successful?
yes they are on the same mount point and have enough space
What should the destination tree look like? (i.e. does it contain directories called tmp1 tmp2 and tmp3 ?).
yes
Do you need to preserve timestamps on the target directories?
Not exactly
Actually i have written a script but i am not able to get an idea in case the script fail in between the archival process ? how to handle that or how to track if an error occurs.

HALEVT-MOUNT(1) General Commands Manual HALEVT-MOUNT(1)
NAME
halevt-mount/halevt-umount - Mount or umount device through HAL
SYNOPSIS
halevt-mount [options] [-w] mountpoint|device|udi
halevt-mount [options] <-c | -r> <-a | mountpoint | device | udi>
halevt-mount [options] <-l | -s>
halevt-umount [options] < -a | mountpoint | device | udi>
DESCRIPTION
halevt-mount Mount or umount device through HAL and keep a track of devices handled. When called as halevt-umount the default is to
unmount, when called as halevt-mount the default is to mount. Option -c, -l, -r, -s or -w changes the operation performed. Additional
argument is considered to be a mount point, a device or an udi when unmounting or removing.
If the commands are not called with -s after changes in the state of the devices (after mounting, unmounting, removing devices), the infor-
mation available for halevt-mount and halevt-umount may become out of sync with the state of the system.
When run as user halevt (or as root), no uid= argument is passed to HAL when mounting, otherwise this option is passed, if the filesystem
allows it.
OPTIONS
-a When listing, list all the existing devices. For the other operations, perform the operation on all the handled devices.
-c Remove the handled device.
-d device
Use device device.
-f file
Use file file to store information about the handled devices instead of the default.
-h Help message and options summary.
-i directory

-l List handled devices. Formatted with, on each line, udi:device:mountpoint.
-p mountpoint

-m umask
Set mount umask to umask if run as a system user, and the filesystem supports it.
-n file
Use file file as lock file.
-o option
Add the option option to the mount call.
-r Umount.
-s Sync the information about the handled devices with the informations known by HAL.
