BACKUP: multiple DVDs, burning from pipe
Hi all is there any way how to backup filesystem with ACL's and permissions directly from stdin to multiple DVDs? Got directory which has 12GB, and I want just to pipe output of star utility to some program that will burn it to multiple DVDs. Also I don`t want to split file on HDD, couse I`m low on disk space. I found cdbackup utility, but it`s not in ports yet.

With a little work, yes. The only way to backup UFS filesystems with ACLs etc is dump. Make sure that you have a filesystem with 4GB free space. Add a directory on this fs, and set the nodump flag. Have a look at the 'dodumps' script on my FreeBSD page; http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html#backups If you use dump like I do in dodumps, it splits the output in DVD-sized chunks. After every chunk, it waits for you to type 'yes' to proceed. So what you can do is burn the first dumpfile to a DVD (don't bother wrapping a cd9660 fs around it), delete it, and then continue with the dump. Alternatively, you could buy an external USB harddisk which will have room to spare and save you dumps on that. :-) Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) pgpscheVAwUFn.pgp Description: PGP signature

Every machine has DVD burner and directory that is bigger than media size (4GB). I thought about some universal solution for both OSs. I found project called cdbackup, but it is only avaliable for Linux. Combined with star I think it should be enough for my needs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
