Hello,

try something like this :

It creates a fbackup file.


/usr/sbin/fbackup -f /TEMP/backup/backup_file -g var/adm/fbackupfiles/graph


In the graph file you're able to exclude / include files and dirs !

Regards

With the above example... Would it be possible for "/TEMP/BACKUP" to be an NFS mounted share, effectively letting me store my backup file on our NAS Device???

I've been searching for this solution for a while before I just stumbled on this forum.

I supposed you tried (and it worked..) no?

it certainly does work, although, extremely slowly.

The server backs up 9 gigs to a DDS Tape in about 3 hours. Over the NFS link its taking more like 9+ hours...

I'm not sure why this is. It is backing up over a 100mbit connection directly to the backup server.
