Example—Performing a Full Backup to a 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) in single-user mode. The following ufsdump options are included:

0 specifies 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: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Oct 06 12:46:50 2003
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 (starbug:/export/home) to 
  earth:/dev/rmt/0.
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: Writing 63 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: Estimated 410 blocks (205KB).
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
  DUMP: Tape rewinding
  DUMP: 376 blocks (188KB) on 1 volume at 546 KB/sec
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
  DUMP: Level 0 dump on Mon Oct 06 12:46:50 2003
 # ufsrestore tf earth:/dev/rmt/0
          2      .
