UFSDUMP & FSSNAP Errors

edited Jan 17, 2014 8:09AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓
I'm trying to backup a snapshot of my Solaris 11.1 server with a script I used on Solaris 10. 

/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0uf - `/usr/sbin/fssnap -F ufs -o bs=/var/tmp/BS,raw,unlink /` | /usr/bin/gzip -c 9 > /var/shadowdump/root.dmp.gz

I get the following errors:

gzip: 9: No such file or directory
fssnap: _FIOGETSUPERBLOCK: error 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Usage: ufsdump [0123456789fustdWwnNDCcbavloS [argument]] filesystem

I'm thinking the fssnap error is because I'm trying to save it to the mounted filesystem but would like to verify that. 

I'm unsure of what the gzip and ufsdump errors are from as reviewing the man pages on 11.1, it lists all of the options I am using....so they are still supported.

Howdy, Stranger!
