volcopy(1M_S5)                  (S5)                  volcopy(1M_S5)


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

       SYNOPSIS
             volcopy [-F s5] [generic_options] [current_options]
                   fsname srcdevice volname1 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.

          Options
            -F s5  Specify the s5-FSType.

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

            -y     Assume a yes response to all questions.

             Other options are used with both 9-track and cartridge tapes
             (cartridge tapes are treated as if they were 9-track tapes.)

            -bpidensity
                    bits per inch

            -feetsize
                    size of reel in feet

            -reelnum
                    beginning reel number for a restarted copy

            -buf   use double buffered I/O

            -e     process until the end of tape, then ask for the next
                    tape in sequence.

             If the -e option is not selected, the program requests length
             and density information if this is not given on the command
             line, or if it is not recorded on an input tape label.  If the
             file system is too large to fit on one reel, volcopy prompts
             for additional reels.  Labels of all reels are checked.  Tapes
             may be mounted alternately on two or more drives.  If volcopy

            is interrupted, it asks if the user wants to quit or escape to
            the command interpreter.  In the latter case, the user can
            perform other operations (such as labelit) and return to
            volcopy by exiting the command interpreter.  Note that the -e
            and -feet options are mutually exclusive.

            The fsname argument represents the mounted name (for example,
            root, usr, etc.) of the file system being copied.

            The srcdevice or destdevice should be the disk partition or
            tape. For example, /dev/rdsk/* or /dev/rmt/*, where the value
            of * is machine specific.

            The volname is the physical volume name.  Such label names
            contain up to six 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.

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