Hi Managers !

I am looking for a set of scripts that would let me to fully utilise the
features offered by the DLT891 tape mini library.

I have one Alphaserver 4100 with Tru64 UNIX 4.0E and I need to backup
files system with the script below.

 

# Rewind the tape before

 

mt -f /dev/rmt1h rewind

 

#echo `date`

Backup_log=`date`

 

# Begin backup

#

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /usr

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /oracle

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home0

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home1

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home2

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home3

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home4

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home5

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home6

vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt1h /home7

vdump -0uf /dev/rmt1h /ksl

 

echo `date`

 

 

For the backup I use now four (4) DLT 40/80 tapes. When one tape is full
the system prompts to user to change it.

As the backup is working in the night, it's very difficult for the
operator to watch the job and change the tapes tree times.

I mean that someone met this problem.

I want to modify my script by detecting the end of each full tape and
telling the robot to take automatically the following tape.

Can somebody help me to do this?

Or show me if there is other solution to resolve my problem.

 

 

Thanks for your quick reaction and regards,

 

OUATTARA. S.
