Note: XFS and bru: The -K option has been added to the bru command for use with files larger than 2 GB. If the -K option is not used, bru skips any files that it cannot compress to less than 2 GB and issues a warning. Note that use of this option can create bru archives that are not usable on non-XFS systems. The -K option can only be used in combination with the -Z (use 12-bit LZW file compression) option.
returns how much space is required for the /usr filesystem backup.bru -e /usr
bru -c /usr
You can specify one or more files. You can also read filenames from another file:bru -c files
bru -c - < listfile
where the file listfile is a list of file names to be backed-up.
bru -c -n 26-Nov-90 /usr
bru uses a 12-bit LZW file compression algorithm. Note that not all versions of bru support LZW compression. If you plan to transfer a bru archive to another vendor's workstation, make sure the other version of bru supports LZW data compression.bru -Z /usr
If you add the -v option, bru displays the compression ratio for each file (as a percentage). If you use -t and -Z to display the table of contents of an archive that contains compressed files, bru displays the current file names and compressed sizes, instead of the original filenames and sizes before creating the archive.
