We recently added a few new machines that came with AdvFS already setup on
the partiions.
I need to do regular backups of these machines. I know that dump, rdump
will not do AdvFS partitions.
So, I need to use vdump, I assume.
How do I do a remote dump with vdump? I used to just use rdump to do remote
dumps, is there an equivelent to this for vdump?
I used to just do this to backup a machine.
/usr/sbin/rdump 0cdf 61000 truckin:/dev/nrmt0h /
How could I do that with vdump? I already tried.
vdump -0Cuf truckin:/dev/nrmt0h /
But it doesn't like the truckin: part.
Says its an invalid device.
Any help here? I just have the horrible feeling one of these machines is
going to conk out on me before I figure out how to back them up.
I can't hoook my tape drive up to them either because these DEC
workstations don't have external scsi ports.
will summarize of course.
