Managing the AMASS File System

Backup Example for Small File Systems

The script below performs:

•A complete backup every Friday (day 5) of all the files in a specified volume group.

•A partial backup every other day of the week (Monday through Thursday) of the files in the specified volume group that have changed since the last complete backup on Friday.

The script uses the volfilelist and vollist commands to generate a list of files in a volume group. Then, it pipes this list to a UNIX backup command.

To perform a complete library backup, run the script for every volume group in a library. The size of the AMASS File System Database determines how much time is required for this backup.

#!/bin/sh

#abackup

#Purpose:

#Store AMASS file system to tape.

#Use ’abackup 2’ to backup volume

#group 2.

#

#Input:

#/tmp/archivedate - control file for

#backup, modified during every complete

#backup

#VOLGRP - the volume group to be

#archived from

#$1.
