Including and Excluding From Archive
The contents of the archive may be controlled from the contents file (see
-f). The full path for the con-
tents file is
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0x
LLA/recovery/archive_content
on the Ignite-
UX Server. This file consists of keyword identifiers which specify the inclusion of files, directories, or
entire disks and volume groups. The keyword identifiers also instruct
make_tape_recovery
whether
to follow mount points when creating the system recovery archive. The contents file has the following key-
word identifiers:
include filename | directory
Includes the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and associated files. Mount
points are not crossed and symbolic links are not followed. Note, file names may NOT end
with a space.
inc_cross filename | directory
Include the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and files contained under-
neath subdirectories. Local mount points are crossed but symbolic links are not followed.
Note, file names may NOT end with a space.
inc_entire volume group | disk
Include the entire specified volume group (e.g., "vg00") or disk (block device - e.g.,
"/dev/dsk/c0t5d0"). Do not specify a disk if it is part of a volume group.
inc_all_affected
Is equivalent to using -A option. Based on the files that are specified for inclusion, this option
determines which disk(s) and/or volume group(s) contain those specified files, and includes all
files from those disk(s) and/or volume group(s) in the archive.
exclude filename | directory
Exclude the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and files contained under the
subdirectories. Note, file names may NOT end with a space.
make_tape_recovery
reads the contents file to generate the list of files that will be used to create the
system recovery archive. The contents file may be modified by hand or by running
make_tape_recovery
in interactive mode. When modifying the contents file, keep the following
points in mind:
• No essential file or directory may be excluded. Exclusions of essential files or directories will be
ignored.
• Exclusions take precedence over inclusions. Anything that is both included and excluded will be
excluded from the archive.
• The ordering of inclusions and exclusions within the defaults file is not significant.
• File names may NOT end with a space.
• The files and directories under NFS or LOFS mounts will not be archived.
• The files and directories must be given as absolute paths.
Using Settings From Previous Archive Creation
The defaults file stores input specified by interacting with the
make_tape_recovery GUI. Options
are preserved until the next archive is generated by interacting with the GUI. Command-line options will
override settings in the defaults file. The full path for the defaults file is
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/defaults on the Ignite-UX server (if the -s
server option is used). This directory is accessed via NFS from the client. If a server is not used, the full
path for the defaults file is /var/opt/ignite/recovery/defaults.
