Hello !
I am trying to dump a mounted filesystem to a dat tape.
> df -k
/dev/sda8 1577565 624488 871549 42% /usr/local
X.Y.X.Y:/my/dumpit
635115 365672 236635 61% /usr/local/mydump
I am using a script as below
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/sbin/dump 0uf /dev/nst0 /usr/local/mydump
mt -f /dev/nst0 weof
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
When I execute the script, it runs properly. After the backup, when I use
restore -if /dev/nst0, I only see directory "mydump" (look the result of
df -k) . That is, dump is started from /usr/local (top directory of
/dev/sda8) instead of /usr/local/mydump ?!!???
In addition, I see that no files or directories existing under
/usr/local/mydump on my linux box is existing under dumped ./mydump
directory on the dat tape ???!!?
Can anyone tell me what I have to do ?
Thanks lot...
