Ftp script create

[int]

I have problem to write a script in sh to make a ftp from one solaris maschine to another solaris maschine. It is for backup system. because i have only one scsi control and tape dlt at one of my maschine, but i have to make backup for 4 maschine. thankss

it is possible to use ufsdump and ufsrestore (for tape backup purposes over a network, without the need to use ftp ...

i think there is an example in the man page of ufsrestore for backing up over a network.

otherwise, if you want to use tar, that will work, and if you must use ftp to back up, then there are many people around here that have done it before

thanks jad,
but when i do ufsdump, how can i do it from other maschine that donot have this tape drive. can i do it without ftp but direktly write it to the tape drive ?

You should check the man pages for the proper syntax to do the backup via ufsdump/ufsrestore through the network, but it will involve using 'rsh' and setting up a /etc/host.equiv file. Check 'man rsh', 'man ufsdump', 'man dd', and 'man tar' has good examples.

Hope this helps.
