What are the steps involved in making a tape backup?
|
| Solution |
This is a basic run-through of making a backup of an entire mounted partition.
Start a new tape archive and save all files to tape:
pax -w -t/dev/tp0 /
Append files that have changed since the date of the file lastsave to the end of an existing
archive tape. After the save, update the time of last save:
tape forward
find / -newer lastsave | pax -w -t/dev/tp0
touch lastsave
Restore all the files on a tape under the directory /home/xxx:
tape rewind
pax -r "/home/xxx/*" -t/dev/tp0 |
