Guidelines
• While creating a tape in format 2, BACKUP with the VERIFYTAPE option examines each file
after it is written to tape.
• After creating a tape set in format 3 (archive format), using the VERIFYTAPE option rewinds
the tape when it reaches the end, then reads and examines the tape.
• In both cases, verification involves checking tape-record sequence numbers, and reading the
volume labels, file labels, data records, and checksums.
VOL
The VOL option gives a new volume or subvolume name to the files copied to tape. This option
applies only to Enscribe files. For SQL files, use the MAP NAMES option in RESTORE to restore
your files with new volume and subvolume names.
VOL [ $new-vol.]new-subvol
$new-vol
is the new volume name.
new-subvol
is the new subvolume name.
Guidelines
• If you specify a new volume name with the VOL option, all the files you are backing up must
reside on the same volume.
• If you specify a new subvolume name with the VOL option, all the files you are backing up
must reside on the same subvolume.
• The new volume or subvolume you specify with the VOL option must be on the node you are
backing up.
• You cannot use wild-card characters with this option.
VOLUMEMODE
The VOLUMEMODE option directs BACKUP to operate in volume mode, rather than file mode.
VOLUMEMODE , { $volume | $ldev } [ -P | -M ]
NOTE: Any volume-mode BACKUP/RESTORE request to an SMF virtual disk results in the error
message: Volume Mode BACKUP/RESTORE is incompatible with SMF virtual
disks, use File Mode.
$volume
is the volume name of the disk volume to back up, such as $MIS.
$ldev
is the logical device number of the disk volume to back up, such as $24.
-P-M
specifies the primary or mirror half of a volume pair to be backed up. If neither one is specified,
the primary and mirror halves must be valid and matching, and the logical pair is backed up.
