iFolder TSA Granularity
TSAIF supports creating archives that contain the following:
Š
The entire iFolder store
Š
All iFolders owned by a specified Domain member
Š
An individual iFolder
TSAIF supports restoring the following:
Š
The entire iFolder store
Š
All iFolders owned by a specified Domain member
Š
An individual iFolder
Š
An individual subdirectory in an iFolder
Š
An individual file in an iFolder
The entire iFolder store should be backed up regularly. In certain cases, a backup administrator
might choose to back up an individual iFolder or to back up all iFolders owned by a specific owner.
These special-case archives can be restored only to the same iFolder store from which they were
backed up.
IMPORTANT: If you are restoring an entire iFolder and want to ensure that it is in the exact state it
was in when it was backed up, you should first delete it from the server using a client or the iFolder
Web Admin console or Web Access console.
Deleting the iFolder is not necessary to restore any or all of the files in the iFolder; the difference is
in what metadata is given preference during the restore. If you do not delete the iFolder before
restoring, the attributes of the iFolder, such as the owner, members, file type or size restrictions,
remain as they are in the current version.
9.7.2 Syntax
At an OES Linux server terminal console, enter
smsconfig -l tsaif [OPTION]...
The
-1
option registers the TSAIF with the Storage Management Data Requester (SMDR).
TSAIF uses the
libtsaif.so
file. The library implements all the necessary service functions to
backup an iFolder target.
9.7.3 iFolder Path Options
The top-level resource for an iFolder store is
/
(a single forward slash) and represents the root of the
iFolder store. The paths for iFolder data objects are specified relative to the root of the iFolder store,
using the syntax of the Network File System (NFS) namespace. iFolder paths are logical paths into
an iFolder store and do not correspond directly to file system paths.
