Example—Performing a Full Backup of a Home Directory

The following example shows how to do a full backup of the /export/home/kryten home directory. 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 /dev/rmt/0 identifies the tape device
/export/home/kryten is the directory being backed up

# umount /export/home

# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /export/home/kryten
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Oct 07 08:41:41 2003
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 (starbug:/) to /dev/rmt/0.
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: Writing 63 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: Estimated 470 blocks (235KB).
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
  DUMP: 376 blocks (188KB) on 1 volume at 1205 KB/sec
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
