I want to use bcopy to copy a disk volume to tape. The disk volume is oink-Diff-0001 and it is on device "backup" which is a disk. I want to copy it to the tape called oink-wed-1 on device "tape." Is the syntax something like:

bcopy backup/oink-Diff-0001 tape/oink-wed-1

Also what will bcopy do if it runs out of room on the tape?

Thanks for your help.  I am not finding too much documentation about bcopy.

According to the documentation:

http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION000328000000000000000

Usage: bcopy [-d debug_level] <input-archive> <output-archive>
       -b bootstrap      specify a bootstrap file
       -c <file>         specify configuration file
       -dnn              set debug level to nn
       -i                specify input Volume names (separated by |)
       -o                specify output Volume names (separated by |)
       -p                proceed inspite of I/O errors
       -v                verbose
       -w dir            specify working directory (default /tmp)
       -?                print this message

An example here:

From reading mailing list archives it seems that not many people are using bcopy not very much, and few people ever ask about it so there is little documentation.

Kern has, several times, asked for feedback on bcopy, so if you do try it, please post again to let us know how it goes.
