fbackup

[j773303]

May I use -n to backup nfs mount data as below fbackup syntax? Is it possible exclude some nfs mount in the graph file such as:
vi graph
e /test/mount1
e /test/mount2

fbackup -0 -u -v -n -g graph

Hi

Yes you should be able to use the graph file to exclude files for NFS. Including the "-n" option will cause fbackup to cross NFS mounts.

However I would be careful using fbackup over NFS mounts as there can be problems if FS's are not exported with root access etc. However exporting NFS mounts with root access is a serious security flaw.

I'd also include your device file ("-f" option) in fbackup command.

Hi there,

Yes, you can use those fbackup syntax.
But you need to specify the tape device file with '-f' option, so the complete one would be like below :

fbackup -0 -u -v -n graph -f /dev/rmt/xm

Hope this can help you.
