ignite

[Ron Irving]

Ok...tried again, and failed again. Here's the command I ran, exactly:

make_tape_recovery -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/home/jhegidus -a /dev/rmt/0mn

I've attached then whole recovery.log file from that failure. It looks as though even after excluding that directory, it's still looking for those files.

Thanks guys!!!

Ron,

Your log shows that /home is being included in its entirety:

2 v /dev/vg00 0x00 /dev/dsk/c3t6d0 /dev/dsk
/c2t4d0
/dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand 2
/dev/vg00/lvol2
/dev/vg00/lvol3 / 2
/dev/vg00/lvol4 /opt 2
/dev/vg00/lvol5 /tmp 2
/dev/vg00/lvol6 /usr 2
/dev/vg00/lvol7 /var 2
/dev/vg00/lvol8 /home 2

** 0 - The Volume Group or Filesystem is Not included in the
System Recovery Archive
** 1 - The Volume Group or Filesystem is Partially included in the
System Recovery Archive
** 2 - The Volume Group or Filesystem is Fully included in the
System Recovery Archive




Try it again, specifying -x exclude=/home and see what happens.

Ok!! I ran it and excluded all of /home. It finished, with warnings, but finished nonetheless!!

So...now I have an ignite with no /home in it. Should I be afraid?

Hi Ron:

No, you can backup '/home' with something other than Ignite and then if you need to use your Ignite tape, do so, and follow that recovery with a recovery of '/home' from its backup.

What you really want (and what you really have) is a viable operating system image.
