How to Find File System Names

  1. Display the contents of the /etc/vfstab file.


    $ more /etc/vfstab

  2. Look in the mount point column for the name of the file system.

  3. Use the directory name listed in the mount point column when you back up the file system.

The file systems to be backed up in this example are root (/), /usr, /datab, and /export/home.
