Yesterday I got access to a broken SCO Unix Server, having IBM Informix database. The database had lots of data on raw disks. Luckily I got the server to boot to single user mode, from there I got access to the locations of files using 'divvy' command.
Auto login to FTP server setup using .netrc in the home directory of user "root"
Start the backup, first taking the list of files and then looping through the list and while doing the backup using dd. The backed-up file is ultimately moved to an FTP server

# mount /backup
# cd /backup
# find / -name \*data\* -user informix > /tmp/files

> echo "bin\nput $i\nquit"|ftp 192.168.20.100
> rm /backup/$i
> done
I had never understood the thing about the auto login. Although I had tried a couple of codes and also took help from the friends but it changed after getting the concept from this code.
