NAME
     volcopy (s5) - make a literal copy of an s5 file system

SYNOPSIS
     volcopy [-F s5] [generic_options] [-a] fsname srcdevice vol-
     name1 destdevice volname2

DESCRIPTION
     generic_options are options supported by the generic volcopy
     command.

     volcopy makes a literal copy of the s5 file system  using  a
     blocksize matched to the device.

     The options are:

     -F s5     Specify the s5-FSType.

     -a        Invoke a verification sequence requiring  a  posi-
               tive  operator response instead of the standard 10
               second delay before the copy is made.

     The fsname  argument  represents  the  mounted  name  (e.g.:
     root, u1, etc.)  of the filsystem being copied.

     The srcdevice or destdevice should be the disk partition  or
     tape (e.g.:  /dev/rdsk/cld0s8, /dev/rdsk/cld1s8, etc.).

     The volname is the physical volume name.  Such  label  names
     are limited to six or fewer characters.  Volname may be - to
     use the existing volume name.

     Srcdevice and volname1 are the device and volume from  which
     the  copy of the file system is being extracted.  Destdevice
     and volname2 are the target device and volume.

     Fsname and volname are  recorded  in  the  superblock  (char
     fsname[6], volname[6];).

NOTE
     volcopy does not support tape-to-tape copying.   Use  dd(1M)
     for tape-to-tape copying.

FILES
     /var/adm/filesave.log   a  record  of  file  systems/volumes
