Fbackup:-

#fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/cXXtXdXBESTn -i /home/test -i /export/test -I /home/Index

with this you are tkng the backup of /home/test & /export/test..

========================================
[listing]
#frecover -f /dev/rmt/cXXtXdXBESTn -x -N -v

Things to remember about fbackup:-

*fbackup MUST rewind the tape before beginning the backup and after
completing.

Command Description

fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -i / full system backup

fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -i specifically include file/directory
/etc/hosts preceded by -i

fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -i specifically include multiple
/etc/hosts -i /usr files/directories preceded by -i

fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -e specifically exclude file/directory
/etc/hosts preceded by -e

fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -g
graph_file_name backup from a graph file

frecover -xvf /dev/rmt/0m restore entire tape to originating
directory structure

restore entire tape to originating
frecover -xovf /dev/rmt/0m directory structure and overwrite any
existing files

cd /tmp restore entire tape to /tmp
frecover -xXvf /dev/rmt/0m (originating directory structure will
not be overwritten)

frecover -vf /dev/rmt/0m -I verify backup and read the index file
/tmp/index from the tape into a file called
/tmp/index

frecover -rNv -f /dev/rmt/0m 2>
/tmp/listing list of what is really on the tape

frecover -V /tmp/volume_headers
-f /dev/rmt/0m show volume headers on the tape

Hello

Backup and restore to the same server doesn't require tape drive at all.

by the below command you will be able to move directories across different filesystems within the same box

fbackup -i /home/test -f - | (cd /export/test ; frestore -Xrf -)

thanks

cd /home; == going to the sorce dirctry.

fbackup -f - -i . ===??

|(cd /var/adm/crash;==== using pipe going to the destn dirctry.

frecover -f - -r)== -f -r ????

fbackup -i /home/test -f - | (cd /export/test ; frecover -f - -r)

Explanation :

fbackup

-i : include /home/test in the backup

-f : backup to non default distination

- : standard output

| : redirect the output to another command

frecover :

-r : restore everything
-f : restore from non-standard location
- : standard output

For frecover(1m), this should be stdin. :-)

Hi,

You talkin' bout frecover right?? Am aware of a restore command that is used for restoring the filesystem incrementally on the local environment or accross the network. An frestore does not ring a bell. (typo error??) . :)
