The para. about pax vis-a-vis tar versus cpio was interesting !
I never knew that -- though the names do make sense now !

It's one of those Unix things. It goes with the beard and the bad-fitting

Just remember, I you don't have the database shutdown while you back them up
the backups will be unusable.

cpio, instead of a dump utility, to back up Unix boxes. It never failed.
In the past, I found that tar had filename length limitation that was
shorter than what the OS permitted (80 characters iirc -- that's filename,
not
Hi!!
Check for the -K option of the TAR command...
is for supporting files 2 Gb...
if you do not have that option, you could use CPIO

Ruth,
Does this mean hot backups don't work for UnixWare 7.1? Otherwise, cp,
cpio, ufsdump or any other method of copying the disk file from location a
to location b should be ok, shouldn't it?

I was thinking of simply copying the datafiles using the OS facilities.
If you are putting hot backups to tape directly I am not sure that they will
be usable for recovery. RMAN requires a third party media manager to handle
backups to tape. If rman can't do it, I am not sure that homegrown
I do not get it.
If you put the tablespace in backup mode and then use the os utilities to
copy the datafiles to tape why you can not use then for recover. Just
restore the datafiles and the archive logs and do recover?

I am using home grown scripts and they work. I have Legato use savepnpc (pre/post
proc) command call this script:
//begin snippet comment section
#!/bin/ksh
###
# $ORABIN/db_hot_backup.ksh
The key is putting the tablespace in backup mode. It then doesn't matter
whether you write the file to disk or tape. Homegrown scripts will work
just fine in writing directly to tape, although it should be quite a bit
slower than writing to disk and then letting the system backup process
simply
You probably can. I just wasn't sure. Ruth

Ruth,
I am a little confused here. Are you saying that putting hot backups to tape
directly will NOT be useful for recovery? Why not?

If you are using Legato, you are using a third party media manager. I am
not sure you can do backup to tape directly without such a product.

Not true Ruth. I use Legato's savepnpc command to call pre/post proc scripts. Their
media manager Oracle Business Suite requires RMAN and I am not switching just yet :)

Dear List,
We have UnixWare 7.1 and I want to take backup of
Database files (Physical files) to my tape.
I did use tar command:
tar c8v1 /home/oradata
It's working properly but the problem is:
tar can't handle large files(larger than 2GB).
The total size of the DB files under /home/oradata
Well for this you can use cpio command in Unix for copying files to Tape.
Another option is using ufsdump commnand .
