next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
The manual for dump states:
...
-h level
Honor the user ``nodump'' flag (UF_NODUMP) only for dumps at or
above the given level. The default honor level is 1, so that
incremental backups omit such files but full backups retain them.
...
I have looked at the several man pages referenced by this, and searched
the mailing list archives. I want to take advantage of this feature but
cannot find how to set this flag.
This is really an attempt to only back up part of a file system on a
dump run. For instance, /dev/ad2s1e is mounted at
/usr/exports/corporate and contains
/usr/exports/corporate/reallyimportant and /usr/exports/corporate/justjunk.
I really don't care to back up justjunk, but since both justjunk and
reallyimportant are in the same filesystem I really cannot do:
dump ..... /user/exports/corporate/reallyimportant.
Was thinking that the nodump flag might be the answer... if I could find
out how to set it, and if nobody else has a better idea.
