Title: Howto taper
Post by: herculito on June 24, 2002, 12:48:26 AM
Hi all,

Does anyone has a copy of the taper howto or a link where it is available. I tried to lookup at myezserver.com but the page has been removed.
I'm trying to install/configure a onstream DI30.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Herc

Because taper can't restore more than 4GB, Darrell decided to take down the HOWTO.  He apparently believes that this is a critical shortcoming in the software (and I can't say that I disagree with him).

check this site:

http://taper.e-survey.net.au/

It's the taper homepage.  you'll find whatever you need.

If also happen to figure out how to perform a taper backup on command line properly, please let me know.  i would like to configure the taper backup in a crontab for nightly backups.  i know that sme server has flexbackup, but i still would like to know how to do this.

This is what I've tried so far, but the backup seems to produce a bunch of errors:

% taper -T s -a -c 1 -g -t <title> -U <dir(s)><br /><br />-T = type: s=scsi<br />-a = append off<br />-c = compression: 1=default<br />-g = volume title<br />-t = archive title<br />-U = directories<br /><br />hope this helps.<br /><br />flee </dd> <dt class="postheader"> Title: <strong>Re: Howto taper</strong><br /> Post by: <strong>Todd Pearsall</strong> on <strong>June 28, 2002, 02:26:22 AM</strong> </dt> <dd class="postbody"> Here's what I use for a weekly full back up.<br /><br />0 3 * * Mon (taper -T scsi -a -u -U @config -g Monday_AM_Full; tail /root/taper_info/taper_log >> /var/log/Backup_log) </dd> </dl> <div id="footer" class="smalltext"> <span class="smalltext" style="display: inline; visibility: visible; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://forums.koozali.org/index.php?action=credits" title="Simple Machines Forum" target="_blank" class="new_win">SMF 2.0.19</a> | <a href="https://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/license.php" title="License" target="_blank" class="new_win">SMF © 2021</a>, <a href="https://www.simplemachines.org" title="Simple Machines" target="_blank" class="new_win">Simple Machines</a><br /><a href="https://forums.koozali.org/index.php?action=gpdr;sa=privacypolicy">Privacy Policy</a> | <a id="button_agreement" href="https://forums.koozali.org/index.php?action=agreement"><span>Terms and Policies</span></a> </span> </div> </body> </html>
