What is the unix command to move files/backups from the Os to tape.
Thanx in advance,
Kavita
Check the man page for tar (normally for files and directories), ufsdump (for complete filesystems - ufsrestore is to bring it back).
There is also cpio, dd, and then third-party software that will do backups and restores.
KN,
Try this out,
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0cb <files>
this will copy the files from OS to tape.
And if u want to append to the tape,
tar rvf /dev/rmt/0cb <files>
Hope this helps u. But it will be helpful if u go through the man pages.
