fbackup command

[Fauziah Mahdan]

I run fbackup command to my hpux 11.11 server using command fbackup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -i /
An alert appear as /net not backup up 'n' option (NFS) not specified

Why? All the while I am using the same command.

The /net is normally a mount point for NFS file systems, normally used with automount/autofs.

In this case, is indicating that the /net filesystem won't be backed up because the option to backup NFS file systems was not specified (-n).

[Fauziah Mahdan]

then what is the right command?

hi fauziah,

your command looks OK but if you have /net as nfs mount and you want to have it backup, just add '-n' to your fbackup command. By default, fbackup does not cross NFS mount points, even if you specify paths by using '-i' or '-g' options. For more info, man fbackup.

There is nothing wrong. It is not an error message, it is just notifying you that /net is NFS and since the -n option was not present, it won't be backed up. Since NFS is so slow, it is not a good idea to backup remote mountpoints.

At 1st msg appear as the backup started but it end by cheksum error.

Ok I rerun again the comamnd today with fbackup -nvf /dev/rmt/0m -i /
