Operating Systems SCO Virtualize physical SCO 5.0.6

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 &

There is a 2gb limit on file sizes in 5.0.6

There will be a 5120KB file, very quickly created.
It cannot be a copy of the whole system:
Code:
scounix# dfspace
/         :     Disk space: 3402,84 MB of 4000,00 MB available (85,07%).
/stand    :     Disk space:  14,15 MB of  24,41 MB available (57,97%).
/usr2     :     Disk space: 53678,51 MB of 64423,23 MB available (83,32%).

You ought find directory that size about 1.5G
You try:
example:
Code:
cd /; du -ms *

If example /home 600M and /usr 1000M
you can do for filesystem /
Code:
scounix# mount -f NFS 192.168.1.246:nfs /mnt
scounix# cd / ; find ./ -print -name ./home -prune -name ./usr -prune -xdev| cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile.cpio &
scounix# cd / ; find ./home -print -xdev | cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile_home.cpio &
scounix# cd / ; find ./usr -print -xdev| cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile_usr.cpio &

if you haven't free space you can do backup.....cpio by one in the order.
And you can on target system do:
Code:
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile.cpio &
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile_home.cpio &
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile_usr.cpio &

other filesystems you can transfer the method or start new SCO and transfer next filesystems by ...nfs...ftp...rcp....

you can see man find and man cpio at system SCO.

Thx again, but my SCO 5.0.6 has a Problem with -m
Code:
scounix# cd /; du -ms *
usage: du [-afkrsuxV] [name ...]


/ and /usr2 are bigger than 2GB:
Code:
scounix# dfspace
15563 Signal 31 - core dumped
14824 Signal 31 - core dumped
/         :     Disk space: 3403,25 MB of 4000,00 MB available (85,08%).
/stand    :     Disk space:  14,15 MB of  24,41 MB available (57,97%).
/usr2     :     Disk space: 53678,50 MB of 64423,23 MB available (83,32%).

I used UNIX SCO 16 years ago.
At other unix option -m count in MB
you can use -k it's print count in KB
do "man du"
My proposion is for count how many place used in directory and all files in
Option "-name ./xxxxx -prune" means print name files(and directory) without (exclude) all in directory ./xxxxxx
I wants that you find directory example /usr 1000M /xxxx 500M
in your filesystem "/" without /usr /xxxxx is 1000M, you can archive it in file less then 2GB.

it's a problem with you system
file core is file with information about problems with programs.
when you move your server it's no nessesery to copy.
Please "rm core".
My proposition do:
Code:
cd / ; find ./ -name core -print -exec rm {} \;

change name directory if it nesesery.
if you don't undestand please send output;
Code:
cd /; du -ks *

PLEASE DO THE CODE.
change name directory if it nesesery.
Code:
scounix# mount -f NFS 192.168.1.246:nfs /mnt
scounix# cd / ; find ./ -print -name ./home -prune -name ./usr -prune -xdev| cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile.cpio &
scounix# cd / ; find ./xxxx -print -xdev | cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile_xxxx.cpio &
scounix# cd / ; find ./usr -print -xdev| cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile_usr.cpio &

if you haven't free space you can do backup.....cpio by one in the order.
And you can on target system do:
Code:
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile.cpio &
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile_xxxx.cpio &
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile_usr.cpio &

other filesystems you can transfer the method or start new SCO and transfer next filesystems by ...nfs...ftp...rcp....
you can see man find and man cpio at system SCO.

after SCO restart, I'm getting this:
Code:
scounix# dfspace
/         :     Disk space: 3066,48 MB of 4000,00 MB available (76,66%).
/stand    :     Disk space:  14,15 MB of  24,41 MB available (57,97%).
/usr2     :     Disk space: 53678,50 MB of 64423,23 MB available (83,32%).

Total Disk Space: 56759,14 MB of 68447,65 MB available (82,92%).

Code:
scounix# cd /; du -ks *

139170	xaa
205664	xab

The problems is, I cannot backup /usr2, because cpio cannot deal with files > 2GB,
so I've tried to split output file to 1GB files using this command, but it won't work:
Code:
scounix# cd / ; find ./usr2 -depth -print -xdev | cpio -ovfB | gzip -c | split -b 1000m > /mnt/backupfile_usr2.gz_ &

There will be a file with 0KB created.

Hi,
in your system ./xxxx can be:
./opt ./xaa ./xab ..... I don't see 3066,48 MB at filesystem "/"

du normal show more then df.............. it isn't normal.
bye

you can read man find, cpio, gzip, split
