Hi. I'm having some problems using dump-0.3-5 ... here is what I'm
doing...
#!/bin/sh
trap '' 1 2 15
DIR=/var/adm/scripts/backups
TAPE=/dev/st0
NTAPE=/dev/nst0
cd $DIR
mv $DIR/log.* $DIR/logs
# chop up the current date
NOW=`/bin/date`
DAY=`echo $NOW | cut -f1 -d" "`
MONTH=`echo $NOW | cut -f2 -d" "`
DATE=`echo $NOW | cut -f3 -d" "`
YEAR=`echo $NOW | cut -f6 -d" "`
STAMP="$DAY"
# open $DIR/log file
echo "Backup started on $NOW" > $DIR/log.$STAMP
echo "" >> $DIR/log.$STAMP
# test if tape drive is ready
/bin/mt -f $TAPE rewind
# backup files local to this server
# / partition
/sbin/dump 0dbsfu 61000 32 2640 $NTAPE /dev/sda1 2>> $DIR/log.$STAMP
# /usr
/sbin/dump 0dbsfu 61000 32 2640 $NTAPE /dev/sda3 2>> $DIR/log.$STAMP
# /home
/sbin/dump 0dbsfu 61000 32 2640 $NTAPE /dev/sda4 2>> $DIR/log.$STAMP
# /var
/sbin/dump 0dbsfu 61000 32 2640 $NTAPE /dev/hda2 2>> $DIR/log.$STAMP
# /mnt/syquest
/sbin/dump 0dbsfu 61000 32 2640 $NTAPE /dev/sdb1 2>> $DIR/log.$STAMP
#
# rewind the tape (fair enough)
/bin/mt -f $TAPE offline
#
# mail our results
#
mail craig < log.$STAMP
#
# Finis. Inform that we've completed and compress the logfile.
#
echo "All backups completed at `/bin/date`" >> $DIR/log.$STAMP
/usr/bin/gzip $DIR/log.$STAMP
And here's what I get in return...
