How does checkpoint takes a snapshot? I mean which linux command it uses in the background?

[Blason_R]

Hi All,

I forgot the command it uses in background when generate snapshot command is fired. I guess does it use /usr/bin/backup?

Or lvm snapshot mechansim? Or I guess dump utility?

TIA

hi,

when I look on a R81.10, I see following during snapshot creation

/sbin/dump -q -0 -f - /dev/vg_splat/lv_current_snap

Cheers

This is a dump command and now I remember. @S_E_ Is right and I was not getting that command.

It uses /bin/backup_util, a binary file...
