Using UFSdump Backup Archives
...
as VTAPE Container Files
To transfer backup archives to the Charon host system, perform the following steps:
- Create ufsdump archives of the filesystems on the original system that are to be migrated.
(#
ufsdump 0f <archive-filename> <disk-partition>
) - Use SFTP to copy the archive files to the Charon host system across a VPN connection or directly to the public IP address of the host system.
- Use the Charon-SSP Manager File Manager (Tools > AWS Cloud > File Manager) to rename the files to
<archive-name>.vtape
. - Add the files to the Charon-SSP virtual machine configuration of the emulated system as virtual tape drives.
- Use
ufsrestore
on Solaris to restore the files to the correct filesystems.
