ftio(1)

 

 

 

 

 

ftio(1)

 

the ®les are those of the previous

-ooperation.

 

-I

Extract (copy into the ®le system) ®les in the same way as for ftio -icdmv, when

 

no modi®ers are used with the -I. However, if the .ftiorc ®le exists in the user's

 

home directory,

ftio opens this ®le, and scans for lines preceded by I=.

Options

 

de®ned on matching lines are passed to ftio as if they had been speci®ed on the

 

command line. See EXAMPLES section.

 

-g

Read the ®le list in tapedev. If patterns is speci®ed, only ®le names that match are

 

printed.

Note

 

that

®le names

are always preceded by the volume that

ftio

 

expected the ®le to be on when the ®le list was created; thus only the last volume is

 

valid in this respect.

 

 

 

-eextarg

Speci®es the handling of any extent attributes of the ®le[s] to be archived.

Extent

 

attributes cannot be preserved when archiving ®les with ftio. extarg takes one of

 

the following values:

 

 

 

 

warn

 

Issue a warning message and archive the ®le without extent attri-

 

 

 

 

butes.

 

 

 

ignore

A ®le with extent attributes will be archived, without preserving the

 

 

 

 

extent attributes and without issuing a warning message.

 

 

force

A ®le with extent attributes will not be archived and a warning mes-

 

 

 

 

sage will be issued.

 

 

If -eis not speci®ed, the default value for extarg is warn.

 

-Bblksize

Specify the size (in bytes) of blocks written to tape. This number can end with k,

 

which speci®es multiplication by 1024. The use of larger blocks generally improves

 

performance and tape usage. The maximum allowable block size is limited by the

 

tape drive used. A default of 16 384 bytes is set because this is the maximum block

 

size on most Hewlett-Packard tape drives.

 

-Dtype

Descend a directory recursively, only if the ®le system to which it belongs is type,

 

where type can be hfs, vxfs, or nfs.

 

-Fignorenames

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arguments following -Fspecify patterns that should not be copied to the tape. The

 

same rules apply to ignorenames as to patterns; see the earlier description for ftio

 

-i.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Kcomment

Specify a comment to be placed in the ftio tape header.

 

-Lfilelist

Create a list of the ®les being backed up. ®lelist speci®es the output ®le.

If path-

 

names is speci®ed, perform the ®le search and generate a list of ®les prior to actually

 

commencing the backup. This list is then appended to the tape header of each tape in

 

the backup as a list of ®les that

ftio attempted to ®t onto this tape. The last tape

 

in the backup contains a catalog identifying where the ®les are in the archive set. If

 

pathnames is not also speci®ed, the ®le list is taken from standard input before the

 

backup begins. In addition to generating ®le lists, the -Loption implements tape

 

checkpointing, allowing the backup to restart from a write failure on bad media.

-M

Make fully compatible with cpio. That is, do not generate or expect tape headers

 

and change the default block size to 5120 bytes. (See the cpio Compatibility section

 

below.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Ndatefile

Only ®les newer than the ®le speci®ed in date®le are copied to tape.

 

-R

Resynchronize automatically, when ftio goes out of phase. This is useful when res-

 

toring from a multi-tape backup from tapes other than the ®rst. By default, ftio

 

asks the user if resynchronization is required.

 

-Sscript

Specify a command to be invoked every time a tape is completed in a multi-tape

 

backup. The command is invoked by the Bourne shell (see sh-bourne(1) with the fol-

 

lowing arguments: script tape_no user_name. script is the string argument script

 

speci®ed

with

the

-Soption.

tape_no is the number of the tape required, and

 

user_name is the user who invoked ftio. Typically, the string script speci®es a shell

 

script which is used to notify the user that a tape change is required.

 

-T tty

Specify alternative to /dev/tty. Normally /dev/tty is opened by ftio when

 

terminal interaction is required.
