Not sure about AIX, but can you add a -v and then pipe the result to a text file?
From: Cameron [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 9:38 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Unix Backups It's a combination of Pro Isam/Oracle databases and our ERP application and a few other apps...however, I don't need to backup the Oracle databases themselves as there are cold backups being done every night and I can backup those. Am I reading correctly that with 'tar', if you wanted to exclude directories you have to create a file and within that file list them out? I'm currently doing something similar dumping CSV files to a windows share so that wouldn't be an issue. What I wonder is how the performance would be doing it that way. Would it be better performance to tar on the box and then copy it to the windows share? I may have missed reading it, but is there a way to produce a text file listing of all the files that were sucessfully tarred?

Tar to a windows shared folder which is then backed up by your BackupExec infrastructure could work. Don't know if that's sufficient for your needs, though.

Good morning all, Backup Exec 2010 no longer supports any version of AIX.....soooo....I need to find an alternative. IBM P520 - 2 LPARs - 1 - AIX 5.3, 2 - AIX 6.1 Need to backup approx 80GB (roughly 40GB per LPAR) I was using BE2010 to backup (to tape) my Windows boxes as well as the Unix clients but I don't *have* to stick with this. I have a spare server (Windows) that has a tape library attached that I could use (gigbit backbone for the whole network). As to reporting/management functions...pretty basic. Email of completion status, ease of use for backup/restore. I'm really not a Unix person, but can usually muddle my way through any scripting. I'm more than willing to research what's out there, but would like to know if there are any fan favourites so that I don't reinvent the wheel.
