-g graph graph defines the graph file. The graph file is a text file containing the list of file names of
trees to be included or excluded from the backup graph. These trees are interpreted in the
same manner as when they are specified with the
-i and -e options. Graph file entries
consist of a line beginning with either
i
or e, followed by white space, and then the path
name of a tree. Lines not beginning with
i or e are treated as an error. There is no
default graph file. For example, to back up all of
/usr except for the subtree /usr/lib,
a file could be created with the following two records:
i /usr
e /usr/lib
-i path path specifies a tree to be included in the backup graph. There is no limit on how many
times the -i option can be specified.
-n Cross NFS mount points. By default,
fbackup does not cross NFS mount points, regard-
less of paths specified by the -i or -g options.
-l Includes LOFS files specified by the backup graph. By default,
fbackup does not cross
LOFS mount points. If
-l is specified, and the backup graph includes files which are also
in an LOFS directory that is in the backup graph, then those files will be backed up twice.
-s Back up the object that a symbolic link refers to. The default behavior is to back up the
symbolic link.
-u Update the database of past backups so that it contains the backup level, the time of the
beginning and end of the session, and the graph file used for this fbackup session. For
this update to take place, the following conditions must exist: Neither the -i nor the -e
option can be used; the -g option must be specified exactly once (see below); the
fbackup
must complete successfully.
-v Run in verbose mode. Generates status messages that are otherwise not seen.
-y Automatically answer yes to any inquiries.
-A Do not back up optional entries of access control lists (ACLs) for files. Normally, all mode
information is backed up including the optional ACL entries. With the -A option, the sum-
mary mode information (as returned by stat()) is backed up. Use this option when back-
ing up files from a system that contains ACLs to be recovered on a system that does not
understand ACLs (see acl (5)).
-E Do not back up extent attributes. Normally, all extent attributes that have been set are
included with the file. This option only applies to file systems which support extent attri-
butes.
-I path path specifies the name of the on-line index file to be generated. It consists of one line for
each file backed up during the session. Each line contains the file size, the volume number
on which that file resides, and the file name. If the -I option is omitted, no index file is
generated.
-V path The volume header information is written to path at the end of a successful fbackup ses-
sion. The following fields from the header are written in the format label :value with one
pair per line.
Magic Field On a valid fbackup media it contains the value
FBACKUP*LABEL (HP-UX 11i Version 3 and beyond). Previous
values of this field were FBACKUP_LABEL (between HP-UX 10.20
and 11i Version 2 inclusive) and FBACKUP LABEL (before HP-UX
10.20).
