Cloning an Archive
NetWorker clones an archive by making a duplicate copy of the archive.
Usually system administrators clone archives. Before making a clone of your
archive, you might want to check with your system administrator.
Two backup devices are required to make a clone: one for the original archive
volume and the other for the archive clone volume. Each backup device must
have a valid, writable archive volume mounted.
The NSRARCH command for cloning an archive includes the following
parameters:
• -s, the parameter for the server.
• The name of the server to which you are cloning the files.
• -b, the parameter for the volume pool.
• (Optional) The name of the archive volume pool, which must be enclosed
in quotes if the name is more than one word. Archive is the name of the
default archive volume pool.
• -V, the verify parameter.
• - C, the clone parameter.
• The name of the volume pool to which you are cloning which must be
enclosed in quotes if the text is more than one word. Archive clone is the
name of the default clone volume pool.
• -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.
• The pathname of the directory that you are cloning.
From the CI, enter the following command to archive and clone the archive:
: RUN NSRARCH;INFO=“-s server -b volume pool -V -C “ clone
volume pool “ -T “ annotation text “ directory_pathname “
For example:
: RUN NSRARCH;INFO=“-s jupiter -b “ Project Archive “ -V -C
“ Projects Clone “ -T “ project1 “ /projects/project1 “
Archiving and cloning an archive may take a fair amount of time. NetWorker
displays the list of directories and files while archiving and cloning.
