I have recently built a 1.7TB file storage server for our digital lab
and I was wondering what the easiest way to backup the SCSI boot disk
to the RAID5 array would be? I was thinking something along the lines
of dd if=/dev/X of=/array/fbsd5disk or similar... if anyone can
give me correct syntax and or options or a better options please let
me know, thanks.
dump 0af /array/rootdump /
is probably the best.
If you other file systems on that disk you want backed up
do similar.
dump 0af /array/usrdump /usr
For example.
You can then restore(8) individual files, directories or whole filesystems
as you need.
