backup

[harpal]

Just a quick query if I want use the backup command to backup certain files using a retative path how would I go about achiving this would it be best to create a file with all the files which need backing up so can therefore create a file called harry which will backup the following

./home/harry/fspurge.ksh and the I pass the following argument in a script

backup -iqvf /dev/rmt1 < harry

would this created a relative backup of ./home/harry/fspurge

many thanks

from the man page - it might give you an idea.


To backup all the files and subdirectories in the /home/mike directory using relative path names, enter:

cd /home
find . -print | backup -i -v -q

Each file name in the list generated by the find command is preceded by ./ (dot, slash). Because the files are backed up using relative path names, they will be written to the current directory when restored. The -v flag causes the backup command to display additional information about the backup. The files are written to the default backup device
/dev/rfd0.
