fbackup and frecover on one command

[Manju Kampli]

Hi,

I am trying to do copy of files from one Volume Group to other VG file systems on same system.
I want to use fbackup command. Does any one know the syntax of fbackup and frecover which will copy the files from one file system to other without copying to any temporary location ( like tape OR disk )
the command looks like something like
#fbackup -i olddir |frecover newdir

Thanks in advance
Manju

Hi,

have a look at man fbackup, there is an example:
fbackip -i -f - |(cd ; frecover -Xrf -)
BTW why not using find|cpio:
cd ;find . -depth|cpio -pmdv

I often use this way to move between volume groups, or even between servers:
fbackup -i . -f - |(cd ;frecover -r -f - )
Good luck!
