HPUX file system backup

Rakesh Jha_1 — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:51:38 GMT

Hi,

I am looking equivalent of following in HPUX B.11.11 -
In Tru64 we have -
When the backup saveset device is the character - (dash), the vdump command writes to standard output. Thus, the vdump and vrestore commands can be used in a pipeline expression to copy filesets. The following are typical commands; they are equivalent:
# vdump -0 -f - /usr | (cd /mnt; vrestore -x -f -) or
# vdump -0f - /usr | vrestore -xf - -D /mnt

Is there something equivalent in fbackup or vxdump?

Please suugest. Thanks

From the fbackup man page:

-f device device specifies the name of an output file. If the name of the file is -, fbackup writes to the standard output.

Hi:

With 'fbackup'/'frecover' you can copy directories and their contents like:

# cd srcdir && fbackup -i . -f - | ( cd dstdir && frecover -Xrf - )

Hi,

vxdump/vxrestore will also work in HP-UX.

vxdump -0 -f- /sourcedir | (cd /dest-dir; vxrestore -xf -)

and

HP's own backup tool:

fbackup -i /sourcedir -f - | (cd /dest-dir; frecover -Xsrf -)
