fbackup compressed mode

f. halili — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 08:49:27 GMT

I want to use fbackup and send the output to a file. The file must be compressed as well, or smaller than the space than the size of the actual files. Is this possible?

thanks!!!

Hi,
This SHOULD work?! UNTESTED
1) Make a pipe
mknod /tmp/bak_pipe p
2)Compress in background
compress < /tmp/bak_pipe > data.Z &
3) Backup to the pipe
fbackup -nAvf /tmp/bak_pipe -g graph.file

Regards

Steve,

I tried your backup to file and it works. To extract do I ran the two lines you gave?

I tried running each & I was not able to extract. Please send one liner to extract & I will test. Thanks!!!

Hello RAC,

Tries your command & it works.
Can you send the command to extract as well so I can test?

THANKS.
