STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Command Options

STORE Options

;FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE @.EMPRECS.PERSONEL;*T;DATE<=02/02/92;PURGE

NOTE

In order to use the PURGE parameter with a privileged ﬁle or ﬁles, you must

have system manager (SM), system supervisor (OP), or privileged mode (PM)

capability.

You may want to warn users before you archive ﬁles and inform them how to request to

have archived ﬁles restored. If you need to restore purged ﬁles to the system, you can ﬁnd

them on the piece of media to which you stored them and on the media from the last full

system backup you performed before you purged the ﬁles.

Displaying Progress Messages (PROGRESS)

Use the PROGRESS parameter to display STORE command progress messages at regular

intervals. For example, to display progress messages every ﬁve minutes, use the following

command:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE @.@.@;*T;PROGRESS=5

If you use the PROGRESS parameter alone, without specifying an interval, STORE displays

status messages every minute.

If STORE is being run from a MPE session, the progress messages will be send to the

standard list ($STDLIST). Otherwise, the messages will go to the system console.

System Directory Backup (DIRECTORY)

The system directory keeps track of the accounts, groups, users, and ﬁles in your system.

Nonsystem volume set directories keep track of the contents of nonsystem volumes.

Directory information can be stored when you back up system or nonsystem volumes.

Storing directory information helps you rebuild your system from backups should it

unexpectedly lose information. To store system directory information, use the DIRECTORY

parameter. All HFS directories on the system are also stored.

The following example will store all ﬁles on the system, plus the system volume set

accounting information.

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE @.@.@;*T;DIRECTORY

To store nonsystem volume set directory information, use DIRECTORY and ONVS in the same

command. For example:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE @.@.@;*T;ONVS=VOL_SET_A;DIRECTORY

In the above example, the ONVS parameter will limit @.@.@ to only ﬁles that reside on the

speciﬁed volume sets. Only the directory information for groups and accounts on the

speciﬁed volume sets will be stored. The system directory information will NOT be stored.

See "Storing Files From Volume Sets" in this chapter for more information.

As illustrated above, the DIRECTORY parameter of the STORE command allows you to back
