Example—Performing a Full Backup to Remote System (Solaris 9 Data to Solaris 9 System)

The following example shows how to do a full backup of a local /export/home file system on a Solaris 9 system (starbug) to a tape device on a remote Solaris 9 system (earth).The following ufsdump options are included:

0 specifies that this is a 0 level dump (or a full backup)
u specifies that the /etc/dumpdates file is updated with the date of this backup
c identifies a cartridge tape device
f earth:/dev/rmt/0 identifies the remote system name and tape device
/export/home is the file system being backed up

# ufsdump 0ucf earth:/dev/rmt/0 /export/home
  DUMP: Writing 63 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Sep 05 14:52:31 2001
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 (starbug:/export/home) to earth:/dev ...
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: Estimated 266 blocks (133KB).
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
  DUMP: Tape rewinding
  DUMP: 250 blocks (125KB) on 1 volume at 247 KB/sec
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
  DUMP: Level 0 dump on Wed Sep 05 14:52:31 2001
# ufsrestore tf earth:/dev/rmt/0
