Unix Tip #4203- August 14, 2012
LABEL AND CONTROL TAPES!
When you use tapes, remember
to use the rewind/norewind
options in the device name.
For example:
cat
(rewind before, no rewind
after operation)
Using this, put a informational
header on the inside of the
tape - including information as
to date produced, type of
tape, system ID, etc.
You would use the following
types of commands:
echo "`date` daily backup `uname`" >/dev/rmt/c0t6d0s0yn
cd /;find . -print|cpio -ovBdc >/dev/rmt/c0t6d0s0ny
This puts a single file at
the start of the tape with the
identifing information. You can
then read this information before
you do the restore.
