...in DOS/Windows but illegal (or at least unwise) in Unix? I have Windows clients who have written directory names containing "$" characters to Samba shares on a Solaris box. This is fine for the clients, but plays havoc with Solaris programs needing to access the files, eg. backups using ufsdump crash in Pass II (checking directories). This must be a common problem on Samba servers, what's the solution?

Dear all, given a DVD drive and DAT Tape Drive, and using Solaris 10 U7 (5/09), how can we plan for a total backup of ZFS root disk and procedure to recover that? Previously using UFS, we just need to use boot from Solaris OS DVD media, also using ufsdump, ufsrestore and installboot. Anybody can point me on how to achieve the same thing when the whole system disk are busted? Thanks in advance, Dedhi

I looked into backing up ZFS and quite honostly I can''t say I am convinced about its usefullness here when compared to the traditional ufsdump/restore. While snapshots are nice they can never substitute offline backups. And although you can keep quite some snapshots lying about it will consume diskspace, one of the reasons why people also keep offline backups. However, while you can make one using ''zfs send'' it somewhat...

...such a format that when the engineers want file $X, I can give them the DVD (or the whole stack, if required) and say "there you go" without having to go through a restore process. I don't want something which creates it's own archive format which spans the DVDs (ie split-tar or ufsdump). I would settle for a program that produces a list of files such that I can create DVD images on my own.

FWIW, the problem of dealing with disk errors has always been why I''ve preferred to use ufsdump/ufsrestore than other tools for backups. Darren

...roblems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do have the original working smb.conf, and binaries. Our file server's netbios name is sporadics. Our NT domain has a PDC named zeus and a BDC named zeus2. Our test client running linux redhat is named dali. After the restore fr...

I''m looking for a way to backup my entire system, the rpool zfs pool to an external HDD so that it can be recovered in full if the internal HDD fails. Previously with Solaris 10 using UFS I would use ufsdump and ufsrestore, which worked so well, I was very confident with it. Now ZFS doesn''t have an exact replacement of this so I need to find a best practice to replace it. I''m guessing that I can format the external HDD as a pool called ''backup'' and "zfs send -R...

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

I'm old school, but I always liked using dump/restore on unix file systems. e2dump or whatever for linux, zfs send/recieve for zfs, ufsdump on freebsd ufs, etc etc. then I just need to know what file systems they are, and where they should be mounted, and its trivial to set tha tup on new hardware.

I have the following configuation. My storage: 12 luns from a Clariion 3x80. Each LUN is a whole 6 disk raid-6. My host: Sun t5240 with 32 hardware threads and 16gig of ram. My zpool: all 12 luns from the clariion in a simple pool My test data: A 1 gig backup file of a ufsdump from /opt on a machine with lots of mixed binary/text data. A 15gig file that is already tightly compressed. I wrote some benchmarks and tested. This system is completely idle except for testing.
