I have two seperate disks I would like to backup. One mounted on / (system) and another external disk mounted on /Ext9GB. When I run the command

# ufsdump 0 /

It dumps everything up to the /Ext9GB directory, but none of the files on that mount point.

# ufsdump 0 / /Ext9GB

Seems to have the same result as above.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hi,
In your case there are two filesystems (/ and /Ext9GB).The ufsdump utility backs up one filesystem at a time.So you will first have to backup / and then /Ext9GB separately using other command.U should give the following commands:
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0n /
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0n /Ext9GB
(Note /dev/rmt/0n denotes no-rewinding of tape)

I hope this helps.....
