Here's a backup and restore script that we developed and used many many times, however, for legal purposes I must say, "test and use at your own risk." Scripts must be ran from the global zone.
ex. bakzone.sh <zonename> <backup directory> ex. restzone.sh <backup file created by bakzone.sh> Note 1. restore script must be ran while in the backup dir Note 2. restore script assumes zones will be restored in /zones Note 3. zones must be shutdown but mounted if using remote storage ----- bakzone.sh --------------------------- # # bakzone.sh # # backup zone TIME=`date '+%b%d_%H%M'` # backup speed, -1 fast, -9 small, "" default BAKLVL="-5" if [ -n "$1" -a -f /etc/zones/$1.xml -a -d "$2" ] then ZONE=$1 BAKDIR=$2 ZP=`zonecfg -z $1 info zonepath|awk '{print $2}'` echo "Backing up $ZONE:$ZP" date find /etc/zones/$ZONE.xml $ZP -print |egrep -v '(/root/proc/|/root/tmp/)' | cpio -ocC 262144 2>$BAKDIR/$1.$TIME.log | time gzip "$BAKLVL" >$BAKDIR/$1.$TIME.cpio.gz else date echo "Usage: bakzone.sh <zonename> <backup directory>" fi ----- restzone.sh --------------------------- # # restzone.sh # if [ -n "$1" -a -f "$1" ] then BAKDIR=`pwd` ZONE=`echo $1|cut -f1 -d\.` echo "Restoring zone $ZONE ..." date cd / time gzip -dc $BAKDIR/$1 | cpio -icdumC 262144 RES=$? date if [ "$RES" -eq 0 ] then ZDIR=/zones/$ZONE if ! grep "^$ZONE:" /etc/zones/index >/dev/null then echo "$ZONE:installed:$ZDIR" >>/etc/zones/index fi fi else echo "Backup file $1 not found!" fi This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
