To conserve space, you can groom files from your system after archiving.
Mission-critical data remains safely preserved for as long as you need it.
The optional Legato NetWorker Archive Application provides the ability to
take a snapshot of finished project files, directories, or MPE volume sets residing
on primary media. To conserve media space, you can choose to have archived
data automatically removed from the media after NetWorker verifies that the
snapshot is safely stored on removable media.
Unlike backed-up data, the media used for storing archived data is never
recycled. Archived data is preserved for as long as you need it. Archiving data
associated with a finished project frees up space for current projects, while
assuring future access to mission-critical data.
To use the Archive Application, your system administrator simply enables the
software on the NetWorker server. No additional installation procedures are
required.
MPE Volume Set Support
Version 5.0 of NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX to provides MPE volume set
support. “Volume set” is an MPE/iX term used to denote one or more MPE
volumes that are logically grouped together for some system or business
reason. For example, all the disks that are used by the accounting department
can be put in an exclusive volume set.
As with other non-volume set saves, such as files and directories, the system
administrator can configure the NetWorker server for your HP 3000 MPE
client to do server-initiated backups. Refer to the Legato NetWorker ClientPak for
MPE/iX Installation Guide for information on how to configure the MPE client
on a NetWorker server.
You can also do client-initiated backups and recovers of the MPE volumes sets.
The procedure is similar to performing client-initiated backups and recovers
of files and directories. The only difference is that you need to append a special
tag _VOLUME_SET to the names of nonsystem volume sets. See “Chapter 2:
Backing Up Files” (on page 17) and “Chapter 3: Recovering Files” (on page 27)
for information on backing up and recovering data.
If you have system administrator permissions, you can also archive MPE
volume sets. Although you can groom volume sets, be warned that you cannot
remove the directory information pseudo files. You should never groom the
system volume set. See “Chapter 4: Archiving and Retrieving Files” (on page
53) for information on archiving.
