Restore to root or /usr requires all
applications to be down
-v # Get the version of this script
and perhaps a reboot.
-f full Set full disk to be backed up
Mandatory: '-f full' needed for entire
disk backup
-h Print this usage message
4. Select a drive as the target backup drive. Choose a drive from the list in your preceding
output.
For example:
System drives information:
System drive: c0t3d0.
The mount slices: c0t3d0s0 c0t3d0s6 c0t3d0s4 c0t3d0s7 c0t3d0s5.
Corresponding partitions: / /usr /var /mmf /opt.
The swap slice: c0t3d0s1.
All the potential backup drive(s): c0t0d0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c1t0d0 c1t3d0.
The possible backup drive(s) for 'dd' commands: c0t1d0 c0t2d0
5. Perform one of the following types of backup.
a. To perform a dd backup with drives of the same geometry, go to step
on page 157.
b. To perform a tar backup with drives of different geometry, format the target backup
drive then go to step
on page 157 under
on page 157.
Make sure the backup disk is partitioned to the same size or larger than the system disk.
Use the format command. Partitioning the backup drive is a one time event. When you make
a tar backup, you must clear the backup slices with the newfs command.
For each formatted slice, except the swap slice, execute newfs to create a mountable ufs.
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
Do not execute newfs on the backup swap slice (for example, c0t0d0s1 or the s2 slice
c0t0d0s2).
Executing clone.pl
Preparing for Solaris Backup using clone.pl
on page 156 to determine the type of backup.
1. Back up your entire disk.
a. If your system has only one target drive, enter the following command.
#perl clone.pl -f full
b. If your system has more than two drives, there are two ways to specify the backup
drive. Either specify the target drive in the command line or configure it in the clone.cfg
file. The following example shows the backup drive specified in the command line.
#perl clone.pl -f full -d c0t1d0
