My Oracle Sever is on a Solaris machine running 2.61. We have an exabyte
8500 (I think) tape drive. I cannot seem to use tar rvf to add files to my
archive, I get an error. The system guys tell me it is a known problem with
this particular tape drive and Solaris. They say I cannot use 'tar rvf'.
Does anyone have similiar problems. What was the workaround. I want to
archive my archive logs to tape several times a day. I don't want to have
to do an entire 'tar cvf' everytime I want to archive my logs to tape. The
system guys tell me to use ufsdump. Is this a feasible solution? I am
nervous because when I read the man pages for ufsdump, it says the file
system must not be mounted or I must be in single user mode.
Thanks very much for any information!!
