DD400 Series Restorer User Guide
Backup from a Filer
To backup data from a filer to a file on a restorer, use the
ndmp get
operation. Administrative
users only.
ndmp get [incremental
level
]
filer_name
:
src_path dst_path
filer_name
The name of the filer that holds the information for the backup operation.
src_path
The directory to backup from the filer.
dst_path
The destination file for the backup data on the restorer.
incremental
level
The numeric level for an incremental backup using a number between 0
(zero) and 9. Using any level greater than 0 backs up only changes since the latest previous backup
of the same
src_path
with a lower numbered level. Using the
get
operation without the
incremental option is the same as a level 0, or full, backup.
For example, the following command opens a connection to a filer named
toaster5
and returns all
data under the directory
/vol/vol0
. The data is stored in a file located at
/backup/toaster5/week0
on the restorer.
#
ndmp get toaster5:/vol/vol0 /backup/toaster5/week0
The following incremental backup backs up changes since the last full backup.
#
ndmp get incremental 1 toaster5:/vol/vol0 \
/backup/toaster5/week0.day1
Restore to a Filer
To restore data from a restorer to a filer, use one of the
ndmp put
operations. Note that a filer may
report a successful restore even when one or more files failed restoration. For details, always
review the LOG messages sent by the filer. Administrative users only.
ndmp put
src_file filer_name
:
dst_path
ndmp put partial
src_file
subdir filer_name
:
dst_path
partial
Restore a particular directory or file from within a backup file on the restorer. Give the
path to the file or subdirectory.
src_file
The file on the restorer from which to do a restore to a filer. The
src_file
argument
must always begin with
/backup
.
filer_name
The NDMP server to which to send the restored data.
