DD command/ UFSdump

[dinduboy14]

hi guys, have a problem here with the dd ( disk dump) command. i have several partitions in solaris hard disk. most of them are in UFS (unix file system) format except the database which is in Sybase.
I need to take a backup of Sybase that and i can't do it using ufsdump. so i tried using dd command. once i extract the data, how do i dump it in again. thanks a lot !!

In Sybase, you would generally use the Transact-SQL dump database command to dump DB contents to a flat file, and then use ufsdump on the filesystem.

Don't u have a manual! Call Sybase and get them to send you the Technical Library CD.
