2.3.1.2 backup disk

Creates a backup of the specified disks or volumes. If neither the --disk parameter nor the

--volume parameter is specified, the command backs up the entire machine.

Backing up the entire machine is highly recommended when you perform a single-pass disk and

application backup (i.e. specify the --application_aware parameter). Otherwise, application

data may be backed up incompletely.
