Thanks to all who replied.
Most of you advised me to use ufsdump, because this is the safest option.

Tar can be used for backing up some files like /export/home.
Tar has a disadvantage that it doensn't backup special files.

Cheers,
Klaas

Hi,
 
We have to migrate 3 servers to one server in another datacenter.
On each server there is LTOgen1 tape drive installed.
Each of the 3 servers has about 250 mb diskspace used and contains a lot of
Oracle databases.
 
I'm in doubt which tool (tar/ufsdump/cpio) I should use for backup the 3
servers and restore all the tapes on the other server?
Anyone suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance.
Klaas
