Operating Systems SCO Virtualize physical SCO 5.0.6 Post 302444031 by ccc on Tuesday 10th of August 2010 06:59:21 PM

Thx a lot. This command, it seems to work well:
Code:
scounix# cd / ; find ./ -print -name ./mnt -prune | cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile.cpio &


Before, I've done the following command and hope is doing this job as well:
Code:
scounix# cd / ; find . | cpio -ovfB -O /mnt/test.cpio &

or are there any differences?

And now I have 2 backup files and both have the same size 2097152KB.


BTW is this command correct, to recover on other machine, I mean on VM?
Code:
# mount -f NFS 192.168.1.246:nfs /mnt

# cpio –ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile.cpio &

NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm] DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu- ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out- put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility. EXAMPLES
