Hi gents
I'm a new subscriber, with a backup question. I've got an Alpha2000,
running DU3.2C, with advfs on all my file sets. Currently my fstab
looks like this:
root_domain#root / advfs rw 0 0
/proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
usr_domain#usr /usr advfs rw 0 0
/dev/rz0b swap1 ufs sw 0 2
users#fset /users advfs rw 0 0
eng_1#fset /analysis advfs rw 0 0
I want to implement a backup procedure, using vdump. Now, according
to the manuals, a script that looks like this, might help:
vdump -0CuvN / 2> /usr/lib/sysadmin/root.$(date +%y%m%d).log
vdump -0CuvN /usr 2>> /usr/lib/sysadmin/root.$(date +%y%m%d).log
vdump -0CuvN /users 2>> /usr/lib/sysadmin/root.$(date +%y%m%d).log
vdump -0Cuv /eng_1 2>> /usr/lib/sysadmin/root.$(date +%y%m%d).log
I.e. all the savesets are put onto 1 tape, 1 after the other, and
after the last saveset, the tape is rewound.
Now for question time:
1. Will this backup script work?
2. With vrestore, how do I for instance access the last saveset on
the tape? (vrestore doesn't show an option to fast forward until the
end of a saveset)
I hope this is not a FAQ, and if it is, can someone please point me
in the direction where the quickest solution to my problem lies?
Regards,
Johan Erlank
