- .th DUMP V 2/11/75
- .sh NAME
- dump \*- incremental dump tape format
- .sh DESCRIPTION
- The
- .it dump
- and
- .it restor
- commands are used to write
- and read incremental dump magnetic tapes.
- .s3
- The dump tape consists of
- blocks of 512-bytes each.
- The first block has the following structure.
- .s3
- .nf
- struct {
- int isize;
- int fsize;
- int date[2];
- int ddate[2];
- int tsize;
- };
- .s3
- .fi
- .it Isize,
- and
- .it fsize
- are the corresponding values from the
- super block of the dumped file system.
- (See file system (V).)
- .it Date
- is the date of the dump.
- .it Ddate
- is the incremental dump date.
- The incremental dump contains
- all files modified
- between
- .it ddate
- and
- .it date.
- .it Tsize
- is the number of blocks per
- reel.
- This block checksums to the octal value
- 031415.
- .s3
- Next there are enough whole tape blocks
- to contain one word per file of the dumped file system.
- This is
- .it isize
- divided by 16 rounded to the next higher integer.
- The first word corresponds to i-node 1, the second to i-node 2, and
- so forth.
- If a word is zero, then the corresponding file
- exists, but was not dumped.
- (Was not modified after
- .it ddate)
- If the word is \*-1,
- the file does not exist.
- Other values for the word
- indicate that the file was dumped and the value
- is one more than the number of blocks it contains.
- .s3
- The rest of the tape
- contains for each dumped file
- a header block and the data blocks
- from the file.
- The header contains an exact copy of the
- i-node
- (see file system (V))
- and also checksums to
- 031415.
- The next-to-last word of the block contains the tape block number,
- to aid in (unimplemented)
- recovery after tape errors.
- The number of data blocks per file is
- directly specified by the control word for the file
- and indirectly specified by the size in the i-node.
- If these numbers differ,
- the file was dumped with a `phase error'.
