y or n
This is used to request that Titan produces a backup compatible with
current Si7500/8000 series server.
Note: The ADC issued with the Titan release will
automatically add the relevant variable if it recognizes a
copy from Titan to an Si7500/8000 series server.
Possible value
Notes
ASCII, ISO8859 or
UTF8
Specifies the character set to use when sending file history information to
the storage management application.
Most file and directory names use characters in the standard ASCII set. If
the names of directories and files contain national variant characters
outside the ASCII set, it is necessary to decide how to encode these
characters when they are sent to the storage management application.
Consult the storage management application provider for advice on
setting the NDMP_BLUEARC_FH_CHARSET variable.
UTF-8 is the most wide-ranging option as it is a mapping of the full
Unicode character set, which covers the alphabets of most of the world’s
languages. ISO8859 (which can also be specified as ISO8859-1) refers to
the 8-bit ISO Latin-1 character set and covers all Western European
languages.
If the path names include characters that cannot be in the chosen
character set, then those characters will be encoded as a hexadecimal
representation, of the value of the Unicode character enclosed in caret
(^) symbols. For instance if using ASCII, the “£” character will be as
“^a3^”. To avoid confusion the caret symbol itself is doubled in names in
ASCII or ISO8859. Note that this usage varies from that in Si7500/Si8x00
and it may not be possible to explicitly select such files for recovery from
old backups.
