Archives have to be at least file system specific ! so an archive of /usr/ would NOT archive /usr/local/ if /usr/local/ is an independent file system. Your script should be OK... OK, as of the last time I testing client archives, this was the case. later,

I wrote a Korn script which basically stores the output of a "df" command less the root file space in a file. This file is then read in, one line at a time with the input used as the file system to be backed up using a "dsmc archive" command. The problem is, we have used nested names in our file systems and since I would like this script to be portable; that is, used in all our production systems, I don't want to archive the same stuff over and over...example: /usr/ , /usr/local/, /usr/bmc/, /usr/informix each is a file system and a directory tree which would be backed up under /usr/. Any sample script that you might be using would be appreciated! Thanks and hopefully Monday morning will see more people checking the list.
