Backup & Restore

I want to backup the entire file systems of Solaris9 server to a single tape. I also want to restore it when its is required.

The backup drive is connected to a remote machine and proper access is there.

Which is the best way ie., ufsdump, cpio,......... to do this and what is the exact syntax to do backup and restore.

Thanks in advance

Ashraf.

Hi,I think ufsdump will probably be the easiest... see syntax below. # ufsdump 0uf host2:/dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0assuming that you are running this command from host1 and the TBU is sitting on host2

@ashrafkt :

You've posted your exact same question into multiple Sun forums.

(everybody, click on the username and find the posts)

Where do you want your answer?

A piece of it here? A piece of it there?

At worst, multiple cross-posts are bad forum manners.

For the future, just pick one place, post your question just once,

and follow the discussion wherever that might be.
