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
