I want to take fbackup of only folder i.e. EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME.
I want to take only PRIME folder, I try with graph file, even than it is taking all folder.
Graph file:-
e /EMCDB
e /BLTEST
i /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME

If I give i /PRIME , I cannot execute fbackup the massage says that graph file i/ e/ cannot access. If I try with the above mentioned i/EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME its work.

Any one can help me.

Regards

Hello,

Your graph file is wrong, you must have a i /.... for the first line to say which directory to include and after this line you put all the e /.... that you want to exclude in the directory you include.
In your case :
graph:
i /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME
e /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME/
e /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME/ etc..

He will wrote all /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME except /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME/.

In your case, if you have all /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME to backup with no directory to exclude, you'de better use the command :

# fbackup -f /dev/rmt/Xm -i /EMCDB/BLTEST/PRIME -I index.PRIME

(/dev/rmt/Xm depend of your backup media)

You want to say that in the index.PRIME it shows /EMCDB/BLTEST?
