Air Cleaner User Manual

When you back up to a remote backup server, the backup options are determined
by the Add or Change Client Host Access to this Server option executed on the
server. If no directories are defined for disk image file backups, then no disk file
options are provided.
Figure 2-6 shows the backup options that might be included on the SMIT menu:
The first column contains the device type and can be any of the following:
VirDev Virtual devices that you have configured. The device name (vdev0)
is automatically assigned by the system. The description shown is
either one that you assign or a default description assigned by the
system. The physical devices that make up the virtual device are
listed at the end of the line in parentheses.
Tape Tape drives available on the local system. Local tape drives are
always displayed first in the list.
Dskt Diskette drives on the local system. A diskette option is not
displayed for a system backup.
Dir For backup options, a directory name, if the user has permission to
back up to a disk file. The directory shown is the directory or
directories specified when backup permission was enabled for the
user. For list, verify, and restore options, all files in the user’s
backup directories are displayed.

disk image file. Only files in the directories the user has access to
are displayed. Files of all backup types are shown.
