VOLCOPY(1M)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          VOLCOPY(1M)



          NAME
               volcopy - make literal copy of file system

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/volcopy [options] fsname srcdevice volname1 destdevice
               volname2

          DESCRIPTION
               The volcopy command makes a literal copy of the file system
               using a blocksize matched to the device.  Options are:

                    -a   invoke a verification sequence requiring a posi-
                         tive operator response instead of the standard
                         10-second delay before the copy is made
                    -s   (default) invoke the DEL if wrong verification
                         sequence.

               The program requests length and density information if it is
               not given on the command line or is not recorded on an input
               tape label.  If the file system is too large to fit on one
               reel, volcopy will prompt for additional reels.  Labels of
               all reels are checked.  Tapes may  be mounted alternately on
               two or more drives.  If volcopy is interrupted, it will ask
               if the user wants to quit or wants a shell.  In the latter
               case, the user can perform other operations (e.g., labelit)
               and return to volcopy by exiting the new shell.

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

               The srcdevice or destdevice should be the physical disk sec-
               tion or tape (e.g.:  /dev/dsk/0s1 etc.).

               The volname is the physical volume name (e.g.:  pk3, t0122,
               etc.)  and should match the external label sticker.  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 last 12 characters of
               the super block (char fsname[6], volname[6];).

          FILES
               /etc/log/filesave.log   a record of file systems/volumes
