Description
Use this command to forward to the end of the last backup on a tape created by
one of the following SysBack commands: sysback, mkvgback, mkjfsback,
mkdirback, mklvback. You can then append another SysBack backup to the end of
the data on the tape.
The following restrictions apply:
v All the images on the tape must have been created by SysBack Version 4 or
higher.
v The tape on which you want to append a backup must be loaded in the tape
drive. For example, if the previous backup spanned three tapes, you must load
the third tape into the tape drive before running the sbeot command.
Flags
-f ″device″
Specifies the output device name. The device can be a tape drive or a virtual
device name and can be located on the local system or a server (if the -h flag is
also used).
-h ″hostname″
Specifies the remote tape server host to which the device is attached. This
option is available only for remote backups after both the tape server and the
local machine have been properly configured.
-q
Suppresses the output. The command displays error messages if they occur.
Examples
1. To position the tape to end of a local system and suppress progress of
positioning:
sbeot -qf /dev/rmt0
2. To position the tape to end on a remote server:
sbeot -h hercules -f /dev/rmt1
