HP 9000 backup

[kerry showalter]

I have a HP 9000 and am looking to do backups over a WAN to a hard disk..Any suggestions on the command to do this..FBack only writes to tape...I might even look at backing up to disk locally if I am able to attach a SCSI based RAID to the 9000...thanks

You should be able to use "fbackup" with the "-f :" option. An example would be:
fbackup -f 10.1.1.1:/dev/rmt/0m

And of course any other options you might want to add. Check out "man fbackup".

Hi:

Since you are going over a WAN it is essential that you compress the data:

Something like this:
fbackup -c configfile -g graphfile -f - | compress -c | remsh remote_host uncompress - | dd of=/u02/myfackup.dat
