f
ftio(1) ftio(1)
the files are those of the previous -o operation.
-I Extract (copy into the file system) files in the same way as for ftio -icdmv, when
no modifiers are used with the -I. However, if the .ftiorc file exists in the user’s
home directory, ftio opens this file, and scans for lines preceded by I=.Options
defined on matching lines are passed to ftio as if they had been specified on the
command line. See EXAMPLES section.
-g Read the file list in tapedev.Ifpatterns is specified, only file names that match are
printed. Note that file names are always preceded by the volume that ftio
expected the file to be on when the file list was created; thus only the last volume is
valid in this respect.
-e extarg Specifies the handling of any extent attributes of the file[s] to be archived. Extent
attributes cannot be preserved when archiving files with ftio. extarg takes one of
the following values:
warn Issue a warning message and archive the file without extent attri-
butes.
ignore A file with extent attributes will be archived, without preserving the
extent attributes and without issuinga warning message.
force A file with extent attributes will not be archived and a warning mes-
sage will be issued.
If -e is not specified, the default value for extarg is warn.
-B blksize Specify the size (in bytes) of blocks written to tape. This number can end with k
,
which specifies multiplication by 1024. The use of larger blocks generally improves
performance and tape usage. The maximum allowable block size is limited by the
tape drive used. A default of 16384 bytes is set because this is the maximum block
size on most Hewlett-Packard tape drives.
-D type Descend a directory recursively, only if the file system to which it belongs is type,
where type can be
hfs, vxfs,ornfs.
-F ignorenames
Arguments following -F specify patterns that should not be copied to the tape. The
same rules apply to ignorenames as to patterns; see the earlier description for ftio
-i
.
-K comment Specify a comment to be placed in the ftio tape header.
-L filelist Create a list of the files being backed up. filelist specifies the output file. If path-
names is specified, perform the file search and generate a list of files prior to actually
commencing the backup. This list is then appended to the tape header of each tape in
the backup as a list of files that
ftio attempted to fit onto this tape. The last tape
in the backup contains a catalog identifying where the files are in the archive set. If
pathnames is not also specified, the file list is taken from standard input before the
backup begins. In addition to generating file lists, the -L option implements tape
checkpointing, allowing the backup to restart from a write failure on bad media.
-M Make fully compatible with cpio. That is, do not generate or expect tape headers
and change the default block size to 5120 bytes. (See the cpio Compatibility section
below.)
-N datefile Only files newer than the file specified in datefile are copied to tape.
-R Resynchronize automatically, when ftio goes out of phase. This is useful when res-
toring from a multi-tape backup from tapes other than the first. By default, ftio
asks the user if resynchronization is required.
-S script Specify a command to be invoked every time a tape is completed in a multi-tape
backup. The command is invoked by the Bourne shell (see sh-bourne(1) with the fol-
lowing arguments: script tape_no user_name. script is the string argument script
specified with the -S option. tape_no is the number of the tape required, and
user_name is the user who invoked ftio. Typically, the string script specifies a shell
script which is used to notify the user that a tape change is required.
-T tty Specify alternative to /dev/tty. Normally /dev/tty is opened by ftio when
terminal interaction is required.
