Vdump of two filesystems

[nguyenhoai1983]

Dear Experts,



Is it possible to take a backup of two file systems using a single vdump command?



Thanks

Look at this site...

It says



The vdump and rvdump commands are the backup facility for the AdvFS file system. However, the commands are file-system independent, and you can use them to back up other file systems, such as UFS and NFS.





Hope this is of some help to you...

If you mean dump two filesystems ( /usr and /data) then no since the restore of such a dump would not know where to put it.



one dump containing two different filesystems - the restore would have to be able to specify two locations to restore to. It can't.



You can run either a script to dump different filesystem to the same tape with multiple vdump commands - each would still be separate.
