fbackup -i / -f /dev/rmt/0m

Does "-i /" include all of the mount point would backup to tape? If /test is a NFS mount point, does it also fbackup to tape?

Hi,

fbackup does not go through NFS mount points by default.

You need to add the "-n" option to backup the NFS directories.

From the 'fbackup' man pages: "By default fbackup does not cross NFS mount points, regardless of paths specified by the -i or -g options.".

Add the '-n' option to your 'fbackup' command to enable the visit.

[Steven E. Protter]

There is an option in the interactive program to cross nfs mount points.

If you use it, your backup speed will drop, because nfs speed is not as fast as "local" disk.

The manual on fbackup says that -n will cross nfs mount points if you want to do that.

Hi,

To take backup for NFS mount point,

-n Cross NFS mount points. By default, fbackup does not cross NFS mount points, regardless of paths specified by the -i or -g options.

And Make sure that the ACLs are provided with proper rights.

Thanx & Regards,

Roby

Hi there,

Yup, the command 'fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /' will do a full system backup.

You need to use '-n' option for cross NFS mount points. See the man page of fbackup :

# man fbackup
