Before we can give you the command we need to know what mounted filesystems are part of VG01. fbackup works on filesystem names NOT VG names. The output of 'bdf -l' would be most helpful.

run bdf to get all the filesystems in vg01. Then if you had /fs1 and /fs2 and your tape drive is /dev/rmt/0m you would run :-

#fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -v -i /fs1 -i /fs2 -I /tmp/mylogfile.txt

You could run :-

#fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -v -g /tmp/mygraph -I /tmp/mylogfile.txt

where /tmp/mygraph contains

i /fs1
i /fs2

Use -e to exclude subdirectories.

Hope that helps

Dave.

Note the logfile is -I which is capital i not capital l (el). The font isn't clear.

I would do something like this. I assume you already have a config file for fbackup.

#!/usr/bin/sh

TDIR=${TMPDIR:-/var/tmp}
PID=${$}
GFILE=${TDIR}/${PID}.graph
DEV=/dev/rmt/1m
CONGIG=myconfigfile
LEVEL="0"
VG="/dev/vg01"

rm -f ${GFILE}
bdf -l | grep -E "^${VG}" | awk '{print $NF}' | while read FS
do
echo "i ${FS}" >> ${GFILE}"
done

if [[ -s "${GFILE}"" ]]
then
fbackup -f ${DEV} -${LEVEL} -g ${GFILE}
fi

rm -f ${GFILE}
