First of all, great web site! I have been using it for a while but just registered today. It's been a great resource for me. Now, on to my issue.
I'm geographically separated from six (Sun v245s) development servers that I have been asked to backup and restore as development is done and redone to verify procedures. I have a guy there locally that will manage the backups and is able to put hands on the boxes. Before I was charged with this my boss purchased six 1TB USB drives to store the backups for each server. Space is not an issue these servers have four 146G drives set up in RADI 1+0.
I provided instructions to my guy there locally to boot off a live CD and use dd to copy the data over to the usb drives. Here is the syntax of the commands we are using:
This process works fine, the only complaint I got was the time it takes to accomplish this. Honestly, I don't care but I wanted to help him out. He was asking about using usfdump/ufsrestore, but I've always been a dd person.
Does anyone see a better way of doing this? We need the multiple backups so that we can put the server in the different stages of development for testing. Thanks.
For those with backup tapes (and I just bought and installed a Seagate one for my FreeBSD box) I want to know how to get the most out of each tape by placing multiple backups on each tape (potentially 20GB). Please correct me if I'm wrong:
First, retension the tape:

next, turn... (3 Replies)
I'm trying to moun my external USB Mass Storage Drive (80GB) in my Solaris 9 box, I am new to Solaris, and kind of new to linux / unix variants. The external HD contains windows files, but I will be using it as a central storage area for my windows/ linux clients.
Thanks

XmDropSiteRegister(library call) XmDropSiteRegister(library call)
NAME
XmDropSiteRegister -- A Drag and Drop function that identifies a drop site and assigns resources that specify its behavior
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/DragDrop.h>
void XmDropSiteRegister(
Widget widget,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);
DESCRIPTION
XmDropSiteRegister identifies the specified widget or gadget as a drop site and sets resource values that define the drop site's behavior.
The routine assigns default values to any resources that are not specified in the argument list. The toolkit generates a warning message
if a drop site is registered with XmNdropSiteActivity set to XmDROP_SITE_ACTIVE and the XmNdropProc resource is NULL.
If the drop site is a descendant of a widget that is registered as a drop site, the XmNdropSiteType resource of the ancestor drop site must
be specified as XmDROP_SITE_COMPOSITE. The ancestor must be registered before the descendant. The drop site is stacked above all other sib-
ling drop sites already registered.
widget Specifies the ID of the widget to be registered.
arglist Specifies the argument list.
argcount Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist).
For a complete definition of DropSite and its associated resources, see XmDropSite(3).
