ProcedureHow to Find File-System Names to Back Up

Use this procedure to determine the names of the file systems that you want to back up.

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

    You do not need to be superuser or assume an equivalent role to run this command.


    # more /etc/vfstab
    
  2. Look in the mount-point column for the name of the file system that you are backing up.

    Use this name when you back up the file system.


    # more /etc/vfstab
