possible to do ufsdump backup without a tape drive ?

hi friends, i am trying to patch a solaris 9 server. However i need to do a ufsdump backup before any patching. There is no hardware port for connecting the tape drive. Any other ways to do a ufsdump ? :wall:

Sure. ufsdump output is just a stream of bytes that can be stored anywhere as a file.

Have look on the below..

Solaris - ufsdump (1)
