full system backup

I'm sure there are other scripts on bigadmin, here's one I mucked up back in 2003 - using mtx for the library handler -

if you have vxfs filesystems, you'll have to muck with it some more. Its nothing special, but it's a place to start - jeff

#!/bin/ksh

# Variables

LOG=/var/tmp/prbkup.log

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:$PATH

todays_date=`/scripts/getday`

export PATH LOG todays_date

/usr/local/mtx/sbin/mtx -f /dev/rmt/1n load ${todays_date} |tee -a $LOG

sleep 10

# Rewind the tape to BOT

mt -f /dev/rmt/1n rewind

date > $LOG 2>&1

#Backup 9 filesystems

# build the list dynamically

echo "about to backup the system:" >> $LOG

df -k -F ufs >> $LOG

echo >> $LOG

for filesystem in `df -k -F ufs|egrep -v "Mounted"|awk '{print $6}'`

do

/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/1n ${filesystem}>> $LOG 2>&1

done

echo >> $LOG

# Rewind Tape

mt -f /dev/rmt/1n rewind

sleep 5

# Mail the output

mailx -s "Full System Backup on `uname -n`" root < $LOG

/usr/local/mtx/sbin/mtx -f /dev/rmt/1n unload ${todays_date} |tee -a $LOG

If you use device '0', then the tape will rewind after the dump finishes. You'd either have to use a separate tape for each filesystem, forward the tape manually, or you'll end up overwriting the tape with each dump (only the last one would be present at the end).

You may instead want to use the '0n' (or the 0un) device. The 'n' says that the tape should remain in position when the dump is complete.
