> 3) Run the usual backup.pl script with -noclone, e.g.,
Remember that backup.pl will overwrite into the same file names on
each run (i.e., /usr/tmp/{backup,butc}.YYMMDD), so if two servers are
backed up on the same day, it's necessary to rename these files
sometime in between. That is, unless the perl script is changed.
Eventually, they should end up in
/afs/sipb/project/newdump/last/butc.server_abbreviation.YYMMDD.Z
These are the files that backup.pl is supposed to process with a
'rename("$tmpdir/$f.Z","last/$f.Z")', although I don't remember this
ever actually working.
In any case, this week's backup used a new QG112MA tape for
rbud.rbud_1.1, and the old sipb.full_2.1 tape for rann.rann_1.1.
The sipb.full_1.1 is still stored with IS Dispatch in Building 11, but
I'm planning to swap it for rbud.rbud_4.1 and rann.rann_4.1 sometime
later this week (Dispatch was closed today).
