Running DUnix V3.2c with *** AdvFS CONSOLIDATED PATCH ***
PATCH ID: OSF350-163 installed.
We are using vdump/vrestore to afford backups. We are using an EXAbyte
210 tape stacker. Basically the script for each system takes the ADVFS
filesystems one by one and writes them to a tape eg
for BUHOST in ${BACKUP_SYSTEMS}
do
for FS in ${ADVFS}
do
rsh ${BUHOST} -n vdump -0ub 60 -f - ${FS} | dd of=/dev/nrmt0h obs=60
done
done
Some save sets are okay but we get the following problem with monotonous
regularity eg on a tape where the first two sets were ok looking at the
third:
314 lionfish:cckba # mt -f /dev/nrmt0h rewind
315 lionfish:cckba # mt -f /dev/nrmt0h fsf 2
316 lionfish:cckba # vrestore -ivf /dev/nrmt0h
