Need to copy directory and file structure

[plcramer]

I have two 9000 servers running 11.0 and I have a need to copy the file and directory structure of one subdirectory to the other machine. What dow I use? Thanks!

I would tend to back it up to tape and then recover it onto the other machine, but looking I found this (found and not tested so check it first - I've not a machine at the moment)

Here is an example of copying a directory from one machine to another:

find . -depth -print0 | cpio -0o -Hnewc |
rsh other-machine "cd `pwd` && cpio -i0dum"

An alternative, if you have room, would be to tar up the required directory, compress it and ftp it over to the second, uncompressing and untarring it when it's there and in the correct place in the filesystem. HTH.

I will go with Clare's suggestion

#cd /dest_dir
#find . | cpio -o | remsh sys2 "cd /source_dir ; cpio -idumv"
