Hi

example
# ufsdump 0cuf /dev/rmt/0 /export/home
it is full dump of /export/home file system or
c0t0d0s7 using cartridge tape

where is 0 stands for a full back up

======== c stands a cartridge tape
======== u updates /etc/dumpdates
=========f followings device
.

I also need to do a backup, but I have Solaris 2.6. I want to dump it into a file for remote backup. What switches do I need to change?

ufsdump 0cuf /somewhere/backup_file /export/home

or

ufsdump 0cuf abc:/somewhere/backup_file /export/home
