Shell and Command Line
The following shell and command line related features and functionalities are deprecated in Oracle Linux 9.
dump Utility
The dump utility that's included in the dump
package
is deprecated.
You can alternatively use the tar
or dd
to achieve similar
functionality.
Note that the restore
utility, originally included in the
dump
package, remains available in Oracle Linux 9 and can be installed by
using the restore
package.
Bacula Sqlite Backend Database
The use of a SQLite backend database for the Bacula backup utility is deprecated. Bacula can use a MySQL backend database and you can migrate existing deployments to MySQL. Avoid using SQLite for new deployments of the Bacula backup utility.
TMPDIR Variable in the ReaR Configuration File
Exporting using the TMPDIR
environment variable in the
/etc/rear/local.conf
or /etc/rear/site.conf
ReaR
configuration files, is deprecated.
Instead, you can specify a custom directory for ReaR temporary files by exporting the
variable in the shell environment before executing ReaR. For example, run the
export TMPDIR=…
statement and then run the rear
command in the same shell session or script.
