fbackup

Hi,
I'm using fbackup to archive a root disk over to a backup server location (not on tape).

The size of the disk will change, and can wind up being larger than 2GB, which is the largest filesize UNIX can support (at least on my machine running 10.2).

The utility works fine, as long as the archive is less than 2GB. Is the only way around this to create a pair of fbackup jobs with different graph files?

You could pipe the output to "compress" and that would use less disk space. It would also cut down on the amount of data traveling across your network.

fbackup -i / -f - | compress -c | rcp - othersys:/mybackup/savefile.Z

Hi Allan,

you can enable largefiles for the filesystem to accomodate archives larger than 2GB.

Hope this helps.
