Backing Up OpenLane Under Solaris

Procedure

To back up files under Solaris:

1.Create a text file (called backup.txt in this example) listing the directories to be backed up. For example:

/opt/pdn/OpenLane/data

/opt/pdn/OpenLane/database /opt/pdn/OpenLane/web/cgi-bin /opt/pdn/OpenLane/web/htdocs

2.Verify that you have sufficient space in the backup directory (called /backup_dir in this example) to accommodate a copy of the files.

3.From a command prompt, execute the tar (tape archive) command: tar cvf /backup_dir/backup.tar -l backup.txt

4.From a command prompt, execute the gzip command: gzip /backup_dir/backup.tar

The file backup.tar.gz contains a compressed copy of the OpenLane directories.
