Backup

Today started taking backup of the Oracle Apps instance to a different mount point.
used the following command,
login as root
#tar cvf backup_20070122.tar /abc/

The tar creation failed with the following error,
tar: 0511-194 Reached end-of-file before expected.

Found out the soft file size for "root" user with
#ulimit -a
file(blocks) 2097151

which means, the maximum file size "root" can create is 2091751*512 = 1070976512 bytes only.
Hence its failed with the above error.

So started the tar command again from the "applmgr" user.
As you see from my previous posts, I have set the SOFT FILE SIZE to "ulimited" for applmgr.

Now the tar backup is going on smoothly.
