- Has anyone tried the migration backup method? I
- am working on an SVR4.1 system (on an ESIX 386
- box) and I can't seem to migrate a backup.
-
- I had to fix the bkreg.tab file by hand since
- the -o argument shown in the book (the blue Sys
- Admin Guide, page 3-28) didn't work, so maybe
- that's my problem. Anything here look funny to you?
-
- 1) *** original register file (b.tab) ***
-
- standBAK:/stand:/dev/dsk/0s10::demand::ffile::::/dev/dsk/0s11::::
-
- 2) *** run the ffile backup of /stand to a spare partition (0s11) ***
-
- % backup -c demand -t b.tab.orig
- The backup job id is back-7773
- standBAK: starting backup method ffile
-
- standBAK: completed: 7340 blocks.
-
- 3) *** edit register file to look like this ***
-
- standBAK::/dev/dsk/0s11::demand::migration:::diskette::cap=1422:m1,m2::
-
- [ entries for /dev/dsk/0s11 and diskette in the /etc/device.tab file
- look correct to me ]
-
- 4) *** now run the migration backup (from spare partition 0s11 to diskette) ***
-
- % backup -i -c demand -t b.tab
- The backup job id is back-7776
- standBAK: starting backup method migration
-
- Tag: standBAK: Job ID back-7776: cannot read header from /dev/dsk/0s11

-
- Any help or general comments about backup/restore are appreciated !
