• The btcreate and btextract utilities
You can use these utilities to create and restore standalone, bootable
tapes of the operating system and file systems.
These capabilities are briefly surveyed in the following sections. Then, the
archiving tasks are described.
11.1 NetWorker SingleServer Save and Restore
NetWorker SingleServer Save and Restore is a graphical interface that
enables you to back up and recover local files on a single machine to a local
tape or loader. NetWorker SingleServer is shipped with preconfigured
settings that provide you with the ability to start backing up files
immediately.
With the command-line utilities, a user must know what utility ( tar,
cpio, dump/restore,orvdump/vrestore) was used to perform a backup
in order to restore information from the archive. NetWorker SingleServer
eliminates the need to know what utility was used to perform the backup.
The NetWorker SingleServer utility offers the following features:
• Preconfigured settings
• Templates for electronically labeling tapes
• Ability to perform unattended backups
• Five backup schedules
• Five preconfigured policies for managing backed-up files
• Two preconfigured directives that assist you in streamlining backups
• Notification of NetWorker activity
• Easy recovery of files
Network SingleServer is licensed free of charge with the Tru64 UNIX base
operating system. It can be easily upgraded to provide backup and archive
services to a group of systems in a heterogeneous environment. The full
NetWorker Save and Restore product allows you to back up and restore
files in a distributed environment.
NetWorker Save and Restore consists of both server and client software.
You must register a NetWorker license PAK in the license database to use
the full product. Additional prerequisite or optional software licenses may
also be required. NetWorker Save and Restore Version 4.4 adds support for
cluster server failover. In the Available Server Environment (ASE), you can
configure the cluster members to allow the NetWorker server to migrate
