Re: Redhat emergency recovery tape backup

John,

On my FLEX-ES system, the backup command is:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/st1 bs=4096

I imagine it's similar for most of the Redhat FLEX-ES implementations.

I sent the question below to the Flex list but got no
response. Anyone using Redhat 8 on this list that could help.

I've produced a couple of redhat 8 recovery tapes recently
and the backup procedure in both cases has ended with -

10000+0 records in
10000+0 records out

Is this correct. I seem to recall that when I have done this
in the past that an actual number of records or bytes was
recorded in the output but my memory is not what it was.

Unfortunately, I don't have RHEL 8. And I don't know what "backup" you
are using, you don't say (likely whatever the default is, which I do not
know). However, I will say that that output looks very much like what
the "dd" command produces when it copies files. Is it correct? I have no
way of telling. Assuming a "standard" type dd command, with no
overriding options, those two messages say:

I have successfully read 10,000 512 byte records from the file/device in
the "if=" parameter and successfully written those 10,000 512 byte
records to the file/device in the "of=" parameter.
