Managing the AMASS File System
Practical Application
The following example uses this command to back up files, in optimized order, from a volume to a tape. AMASS backs up entire files, even if they span media. Both scenarios assumes the AMASS mount point is /archive.
Using cpio Command
Step 1. Log in as either amass or root.
#su root
Step 2. Enter the commands as shown in the following example.
Lists all files on volume 2. |
| Numerically sorts files based |
|
| first upon volume, then based |
|
| |
|
| upon logical block address. |
#cd /archive
#volfilelist 2 
Backs up the files to a tape |
| Prints just the file names. |
| ||
loaded in drive /dev/rmt/0m. |
|
|
Step 3. When AMASS backs up partialfile, which starts on volume 2 and is appended onto volume 3, AMASS switches the media in the drive to back up the remainder of partialfile on volume 3. AMASS then reloads Volume 2 so it can continue the backup process.
