HP fbackup/frecover to SUN UNIX format?
Hi All,

We have about 7 years worth of data which used the HP fbackup utility. Is there any utility to read these tapes on Solaris? The goal is to create new tapes using Legato.

Do we need to download them to a box first using frecover, then copy them from SUN using Legato?

Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there's a vendor out there that can perform this type of service, please let me know.

Source tapes DLTtape IV ----> Destination tapes LTO1 format.

I'm trying to avoid having to download each one manually (takes 4-6 hrs) per tape, then remote copying to SUN system and using Legato for backups from there.

Thanks a bunch.

nice

NICE(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   NICE(1)

NAME

     nice -- execute a utility at an altered scheduling priority

SYNOPSIS

     nice [-n increment] utility [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The nice utility runs utility at an altered scheduling priority, by incrementing its ``nice'' value by the specified increment, or a default
     value of 10.  The lower the nice value of a process, the higher its scheduling priority.

     The superuser may specify a negative increment in order to run a utility with a higher scheduling priority.

     Some shells may provide a builtin nice command which is similar or identical to this utility.  Consult the builtin(1) manual page.

ENVIRONMENT

     The PATH environment variable is used to locate the requested utility if the name contains no '/' characters.

EXAMPLES

     Execute utility 'date' at priority 5 assuming the priority of the shell is 0:

	   nice -n 5 date

     Execute utility 'date' at priority -19 assuming the priority of the shell is 0 and you are the super-user:

	   nice -n 16 nice -n -35 date

DIAGNOSTICS

     If utility is invoked, the exit status of nice is the exit status of utility.

     An exit status of 126 indicates utility was found, but could not be executed.  An exit status of 127 indicates utility could not be found.

SEE ALSO

     builtin(1), csh(1), idprio(1), rtprio(1), getpriority(2), setpriority(2), renice(8)

COMPATIBILITY

     The traditional -increment option has been deprecated but is still supported.

STANDARDS

     The nice utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     A nice utility appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX.
