fbackup command set

[Jeff Hagstrom]

Looking over the man pages for fbackup, it seems that I need to create a graph file, a file that contains all the directories that I want backed up? Isn't there away to say all?
/usr/sbin/fbackup -0i / -f /dev/rmt/1mn
Would this back-up everything?

yes it would, beaware of how much disk space your useing on the server, if all you have is vg00 and you'll probably be ok, but if you have a large system, you should think about createing the graph files and backing specific portions to tapes that you know what are on them. Also take in to account the size tape you using and the amount of data you'll be getting using the /dev/rmt/1m device as apposed to the /dev/rmt/???BEST,

one last thing, i dont know if your all ready running ignite, and createing make_recovery tapes for vg00 (recovery of the system purposes) but if your not, you should consider it. If that systems goes down a make_recovery tape will save you countless hours.

make_recovery -Ai

will get all of vg00 and boot from tape will be interactive, drop the i and its not.

good luck
