The following is an example of a backup file header from a Windows server, with NICI security files
included in the backup:
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” standalone=”yes” ?>
<!DOCTYPE backup [
<!ELEMENT backup (file|replica)*>
<!ELEMENT file (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT replica EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST backup version CDATA #REQUIRED
backup_type (full|incremental) #REQUIRED
idtag CDATA #REQUIRED
time CDATA #REQUIRED
srvname CDATA #REQUIRED
dsversion CDATA #REQUIRED
compression CDATA “none”
os CDATA #REQUIRED
current_log CDATA #REQUIRED
number_of_files CDATA #IMPLIED
backup_file CDATA #REQUIRED
incremental_file_ID CDATA #IMPLIED
next_inc_file_ID CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST file size CDATA #REQUIRED
backup number_of_files Number of files in the backup set. This value appears only in the first
backup file.
backup backup_file Filename of the current backup.
If the backup spans multiple files, then the header for each file will show
the filename including a number appended to show its order in the set.
For an example of the filenames in a set of backup files, see
-s file_size .
backup incremental_file_ID If this is an incremental backup, this attribute shows the ID of the
incremental file.
backup next_inc_file_ID The ID that the next incremental backup will have when it is created.
This helps you collect the correct set of files for a restore.
file size Size of the data between the <file> tags for this file.
file name Name and location of the file when it was backed up.
file encoding The encoding algorithm used on the file.
file type Indicates whether the file is a NICI file or a user included file.
replica partition_DN Distinguished name of the partition.
This is helpful if you did not have the placement of your replicas
documented. If you experienced a disaster in which many server were
lost, the list of replicas shown in the backup file header might help you
decide which servers to restore first.
replica modification_time Transitive vector for this replica at the time of the backup.
replica replica_type Type of replica, such as master or read-only.
replica_state State of the replica at the time of the backup, such as On or New
Replica.
