I use a simple script with tar.
The core is:
cd /
tar cvlbf 512 /dev/nst0 \
--multi-volume --new-volume-script /usr/local/bin/mtxnext \
--ignore-failed-read \
. >$LOGDIR/root_$BACKUPDATE.log 2>&1
The mtxnext script contains:
#!/bin/bash
echo start of mtxnext
date
/usr/sbin/mtx status
echo mtxnext switching tape
/usr/sbin/mtx next
if test $? -ne 0
then
exit 1
fi
echo mtx next done, wait for tape at `date`
/usr/local/bin/waittapeload
if test $? -ne 0
then
exit 1
fi
/usr/sbin/mtx status
date
echo mtxnext ended
exit 0
and waittapeload contains:
#!/bin/bash
# wait for tape to be loaded:
count=1
tapeloaded=0
until test $count -gt 600 -o $tapeloaded -eq 1
do
mt -f /dev/nst0 status | fgrep -q "BOT ONLINE"
if test $? -eq 0
then
tapeloaded=1
fi
count=`expr $count + 1`
sleep 1
done
if test $tapeloaded -eq 1
then
exit 0
else
exit 1
fi
The main script does a tar of /boot followed by a tar of /
Easy and simple.
