Iwant to take a backup of one file system from box A AND RESTORE in to box B

I tried with fabckup and restored but there are some files missing??

fbackup -i /var/opt/omni -f /dev/rmt/omn
frestore -Xx -i /var/opt/omni -f /dev/rmt/omn

Above are the commnads i used.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

I hope you didn't use /dev/rmt/omn! If you did, the backup went into your /dev directory rather than to your tape device, which is /dev/rmt/0m.

No It was typo. I used /dev/rmt/0mn.

I able to restore to other box but everytime I restore some files are missing.

It is possible some files were open to other applications when you ran the fbackup, so the files were not put on the tape.

Do-
frecover -xNv -f /dev/rmt/0m >/tmp/tapelist

To get a list of files on the backup tape.

Why are you using the no-rewind version of your tape device? fbackup/frecover expect to start out with rewound tapes.
