how do i exclude infor.db from file system backup? 1

seniorpeon · Feb 12, 2002

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can exclude the informix database (in our case, it's on raw disk) when I backup my file system? Or does the file system back up just ignore it anyhow? We use fbackup, HP-UX's own backup utility for backing up the file system and ontape to backup the informix databases.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by this new-to-UNIX, frustrated programmer!

Well if you say you are using raw disks with your database, which means that your rootdbs stays on e.g. /dev/hda1, a filesystembackup will not see them, cause there is no filesystem.

Otherwise __all__ of your harddisks would be backuped twice, since there is a /dev/bla entry for all of them.

regards
