LEVEL
Possible value
Notes
y or n
The default value y causes a recovery operation to extract files from a
file list rather than recover the whole backup.
Possible value
Notes
Name of directory to
back up
The Storage Management Application will set the FILESYSTEM variable to
the name of the path to be backed up.
Possible value
Notes
y or n
Enables back up of files that were created after the start of the current
backup. With NDMP version 2, the inode number that identifies a file can
be reused during a backup, thereby causing the backup to fail. By
default, therefore, only files created before the start of the backup are
backed up. To override this behavior, set the FUTURE_FILES variable to y.
Possible value
Notes
y or n
The default value y causes file history information to be sent to the
storage management application. This enables the display and recovery
of the contents of a backup.
Possible value
Notes
0 – 9, or i
The default value is 0 (full backup). If the value is set to 4, an
incremental backup is taken based on the most recent previous backup of
the same FILESYSTEM with level 0, 1, 2, or 3. If the value is set to i, an
incremental backup is taken based on the most recent previous backup of
the same FILESYSTEM of any level.
