How to include another partition in tape backup

Question

Hi
I use a shell script written by my sysadmin to take backup of our oracle system on tape. now i moved some datafiles on another partition and hence want to include that partition also in tape backup.
for fs in $(cat /tmp/dailybkupfs | awk '{print $1}')
do
# For / replace the / with root for log filename
if [[ "$fs"  = "/" ]]
then
fn="root"
else
# replace any / in fs name with _ for use in log filename
fn=$(echo $fs | sed 's:/::g')
fi
if umount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} unmounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} unmount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
if ufsdump 0uf prddb:/dev/rmt/0n ${fs} >${log}.${fn}.${dt} 2>&1
then
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} completed successfully" >> /tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} failed" >> /tmp/logs/summary
fi
if mount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} mounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} mount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
done
echo "Full Backup of all DB file systems Complete" >> /tmp/logs/summary
Also the dailybkupfs file has the following contents->
/u01
/u02
/u03
/u04
/u05
/u06
Now to include /u07 partition for backup, I just need to include the /u07 partition in file dailybkupfs.right?
Thanks

I am concerned that the config file resides in /tmp.
That filesystem normally gets cleared if the box reboots.
So as far as I can tell, if your box is rebooted, the backups stop working..
