TSAIF does not support the following nbackup(1) options:
If TSAIF cannot back up or restore a file, it skips the file and returns a warning. This can occur for
various reasons. When this occurs,
nbackup(1)
creates a file with a
.warn
extension that contains a
list of each file that was skipped along with the date and time it was skipped and the error code that
was returned.
If files are skipped, try to resolve the issue, then run the operation again.
If you are unable to identify why the file was skipped, try running the operation again when the
server is less busy.
If files are skipped during a restore, and if relatively few files are skipped, try individually restoring
each skipped file.
The back-up administrator should use root or root-equivalent system user for bothe back-up and
restore.
9.7.8 TSAIF and NBackup Examples
The following examples show how to perform typical TSAIF backup and restore operations using
NBackup.
--target-type=target_name
Connects to the TSA specified by target_name , where
the target name is Linux, NetWare, or iFolder.
-T, --input-file=file
Takes file containing fully qualified paths as input for
creating archive. This file should contain one path per line.
-U, --user=username
Username to use while connecting to the TSA.
Option Command
-m, --move-to=path Extracts the archive to the given path.
This does not work with TSAIF because
iFolder puts files in a
SimiasFiles
directory.
-r, --restore-to="backup_path new_path" Restores by replacing backup_path
with new_path .
This does not work with TSAIF because
iFolder puts files in a
SimiasFiles
directory.
