To Back Up Files

1. Assume the Operator role or another role with the Media Backup rights profile.

2. Use one of the following backup methods:

   • /usr/lib/fs/ufs/ufsdump for major backups

   • /usr/sbin/tar -T with other options for small backups

   • A script calling either of the above commands

     For example, the Budtool backup application calls the ufsdump command.

Only these commands preserve security attributes and can read multilevel and single-level directories correctly.
