NAME
       updmv - Moves customized, user, and inventory data files to or from storage.

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/updmv -i  location

       /usr/bin/updmv -o  location

OPTIONS
       Copies  the  Customized	File  Inventory (CFI) and User File Inventory (UFI) files and those files listed in these inventory files from the
       specified location to the /var/adm/install/update directory.  Copies the CFI and UFI files and those files listed in the inventory files to
       the specified location.

OPERANDS
       Specifies the storage area of the files. This area can be a tape device, disk device, or a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server area.

	      You  replace the location operand with the name of the tape or disk device, or the server name for a RIS server area. For tape stor-
	      age, you must use a no-rewind tape device such as /dev/ntape/tape0_d0.  For disk storage, specify the complete directory	path.  For
	      storage  in  a  RIS  server area, you must register the client in the server's RIS database. When you specify the server, the server
	      name must be followed by a colon (:).

DESCRIPTION
       The updmv utility moves files listed in the User File Inventory (UFI) file and the Customized File Inventory (CFI) file to or from storage.
       The UFI file, created by the genufi utility, identifies user files created after you installed the operating system.  The CFI file, created
       by the invsync utility, identifies files that were customized after the installation.

       You must have superuser privileges to run the updmv utility.

       During a new installation, some user files and customized files can be overwritten.  You can identify  and  save  files	from  the  current
       installation  environment for later integration into the new installation environment. Use the updmv utility to move these files to a stor-
       age area or from the storage area to the update area.

       To store the files listed in the CFI and UFI files, invoke the updmv utility with the -o option followed by the location operand. The  sys-
       tem must be shut down to single-user mode before you specify the updmv utility with the -o option.

       To make these files accessible for integration into a new installation environment, invoke the updmv utility with the -i option followed by
       the location operand. The updmv utility moves the listed files to the /var/adm/install/update directory so that they can be merged into the
       new installation environment with the updmerge utility.

EXAMPLES
       Save the files to a tape device: # updmv -o /dev/ntape/tape0_d0

       You must use a no-rewind tape device.

       Store the files on a disk device: # updmv -o /mnt/mydata

       Store the files in a RIS server area: # updmv -o midvale:

       To restore these files, replace the -o option with the -i option.

       Restore the files that were stored in a RIS server area: # updmv -i midvale:

       The restored image resides in /var/adm/install/update.

RESTRICTIONS
       You must have superuser privileges to run the updmv utility.

       The system must be in single-user mode before you invoke the updmv utility with the -o option.

FILES
       Customized File Inventory User File Inventory
