Air Cleaner User Manual

The backup system machine must have the Client Options of Remote Services
configured to specify the backup destination machine as a backup host. You can do
this with the Add or Change List of Remote Backup Servers option or the
cfgremserver command.
The backup system must also configure Remote Command Access to allow the
initiator machine to pull the backup.
Flags
–b ″size″
Specifies the buffer size in K-bytes (1024-bytes). Changing this value either
increases or decreases the amount of data written to the output device at one
time. Some devices with small buffers might require you to reduce this value,
while other devices with very large buffers can benefit from increased
performance by increasing this value. If you are unsure, use the default value
(64 Kbytes).
-c “termdev”
If the backup spans multiple tape volumes, the volume prompt is sent to the
termdev device (such as /dev/tty0). If the -h hostname option is specified, this
flag specifies the device on the remote host.
-d “description”
A custom description to be included in the backup header. If the description
includes spaces, the entire description must be enclosed in double quotation
marks (″).
-e Forwards to the end of the last SysBack backup on the tape and is used when
stacking multiple backups on one tape.
-f “device, file or directory”
Specifies the output device name, filename, or directory for the backup. The
specified output option can be on the local system or server (if -h option
provided). Device name can be a tape drive or virtual device name. If you
specify a directory, you must also specify an ID using the -I flag.
-h “hostname”
Name of the host to receive the backup data (for example, the data destination
host). This is the host that provides the backup device specified using the -f
flag.
-I “ID”
This option is used only if a directory is specified as the output device. The ID
is included in the filename created to make it unique from other disk image
file backups. If a backup in the same directory with this ID already exists,
specify the -O flag to overwrite the previous backup.
-m “days”
Specifies that only files modified within a given number of days will be backed
up.
-n
Indicates that the tape should not be rewound at the beginning of the backup.
Using this flag enables this backup to be appended to the previous backup
performed. The tape is not automatically rewound at the end of the backup.
The -n option is always ignored when backing up to a non-tape device.
-p
Indicates that the data should be packed before being written to the media.
