[Veritas-bu] Solaris 10 zones backup - best practise

2009-06-10 Thread przemolicc
Hello, for a couple years we are heavily using Solaris 10 zones. So far we backup them using ufsdump/vxdump. We are investigating Netbackup as a replacement for ufsdump/vxdump. Our home-made backup scripts work more or less in the following way: 1. For all zones: 1.1 zlogin zone

It does for 6.0 versions... Release === 6.0.0.0.4.4 6.0.0.0.4.4 6.0.0.0.4.4 6.5.0 6.5.0 5.1.0 By the way - the formatting is slightly off due to long Linux OS Levels (for my RHEL systems) and also the Release column was a bit short for those 6.0 versions so I modified it

You'll need to add the -A to the end of the bpgetconfig command to get all information. Note this is only available with -g or -s and not -M. That will include all of the dot release information and give you 6.5.3.1 in an additional field called Patch Level. It will also give you more useful

NB recurses by default. It's hard to stop. You'd have to do this by using an exclude file on the client, I suspect. If your filelist includes: /top/dir_to_backup You might try to exclude /top/dir_to_backup/*/ That might do it. I've never tried it, though. Make sure the trailing slash is

Have to agree with Ed partly on this. I sometimes find if the cluster fails (and its extremeley rare) I may end with a status 2 or status 6. Depending on how the window is configured and the number of retries and the frequency, will determine if the backup attempts again. Simon
