Example--Performing a Full Backup of root (/)
The following example shows how to do a full backup of the root (/) file system. The system in this example is brought to single-user mode before the backup. The following ufsdump options are included:
0 specifies that this is a 0 level dump (or a full backup)
u specifies that the /etc/dumpdates file is updated with the date of this backup
c identifies a cartridge tape device
f /dev/rmt/0 identifies the tape device
/ is the file system being backed up

Example--Performing an Incremental Backup of root (/)
The following example shows how to do an incremental backup of the root (/) file system. The following ufsdump options are included:
9 specifies that this is a 9 level dump (or an incremental backup)
u specifies that the /etc/dumpdates file is updated with the date of this backup
c identifies a cartridge tape device
f /dev/rmt/0 identifies the tape device
/ is the file system being backed up
