Archiving Data

You can archive directories or individual files. Like backup and recover, you
can start the NSRARCH program during an MPE/iX CI session or from the
POSIX shell if you prefer.
When you archive, you have the options of verifying the archive, cloning the
archive, and grooming directories once the archive is complete. Cloning and
grooming are discussed under separate sections (see “Cloning an Archive” on
page 56 and “Grooming Your Directories” on page 57).
You can archive a directory and verify the archive in one step. NetWorker
verifies the archive by comparing the data on the archive volume with the data
on the local disk, byte for byte, attribute for attribute. If there are any
discrepancies, NetWorker lets you know.
TheNSRARCH command for archiving and verifying the archive includes the
following parameters:
• -s, the parameter for the server.
• The name of the server to which you are archiving the directory.
• (Optional) -b, the parameter for the volume pool.
• (Optional) The name of the volume pool, which must be enclosed in
quotes if the name is more than one word. Archive is the name of the
default volume pool.
• -V, the verify parameter.
• -T, the parameter for the annotation text.
• The annotation text, which must be enclosed in quotes if the text is more
than one word. Annotation text must be alphanumeric; avoid using
characters. Keep the annotation text simple. When NetWorker searches
for annotation, the search is case-sensitive.
• The pathname of the directory that you are archiving.
From the CI, enter the following command to archive and verify the archive:
: RUN NSRARCH;INFO=“-s server -b volume pool -V
-T “ annotation text “ directory_pathname “
For example;
: RUN NSRARCH;INFO=“-s jupiter -b “Project Archive“ -V -T
“project1“ /projects/project1“
When you start the NSRARCH program, keep the following points in mind:
• If you have a multiserver network and do not specify a server name,
NetWorker chooses an archive server for you.
