fbackup

[Jeff Hagstrom]

What does a graph file look like for fbackup? and can you run fbackup for everything, but exclude certian directories?

[A. Clay Stephenson]

Very simple format. Preceed every entry you wish to include with 'i ' and everything you want to exclude with 'e '.
Let's suppore you want everything in /u01, all of /usr except /usr/tmp
i /u01
i /usr
e /usr/tmp

That's all there is to it. You can man fbackup for more details.

Create a suitable configuration file called config in the directory /var/adm/fbackupfiles.


Create a graph file called usr-usrlib in the directory /var/adm/fbackupfiles/graphs.


Create a directory called usr-usrlib in the directory /var/adm/fbackupfiles/indices.
A shell script that performs the following tasks could be run for each fbackup session:


Build an index file path name based on both the graph file used (passed as a parameter to the script) and the start time of the session (obtained from the system). For example:

/var/adm/fbackupfiles/indices/usr-usrlib/871128.15:17
(for Nov 28, 1987 at 3:17 PM)




Invoke fbackup with this path name as its index file name. For example:

cd /var/adm/fbackupfiles
/usr/sbin/fbackup -0uc config -g graphs/usr-usrlib\
-I indices/usr-usrlib/871128.15:17\
-f /dev/rmt/c0t0d0BEST

[Vincenzo Restuccia]

Exclude a directory:
#/usr/sbin/fbackup -0i /usr -e /usr/lib -f /dev/rmt/c0t0d0BEST
