HP-UX Reference (11i v2 04/09) - 1 User Commands A-M (vol 1)

f
ftio(1) ftio(1)
permissions of 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 issuing a warning message.
force A file with extent attributes will not be archived and a warning
message 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 16 384 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 actu-
ally 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
restoring 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 with the following 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.
