Images directory
The directory name, if previously selected. You cannot change
this field from this screen.
Backup file ID
Default=date/time (MMDDhhmm). Uniquely identifies the
backup. You can change this field to any value but it cannot
contain single (’) or double (″) quotes. This field is active only
when you back up to a disk image file.
Dynamically Created Backup File ID
Generates a dynamic backup file ID. This option uses the same
current date and time values at the time of command execution
as the ID. If a dynamic backup file ID already exists and this
option is set to “yes”, the existing ID is overwritten.
Show progress indicator?
Default=“yes”. Press Tab to change the value to “no” if you do
not want the progress indicator shown on the screen during the
backup.
Compress data before writing to media?
Default=“no” for tapes and “yes” for disk image backups. Press
Tab to change the option. “yes” indicates that the data will be
compressed before it is written to the backup media.
Compressing the data usually increases backup performance
and uses between 25 and 40% less space on the media. For best

provides its own hardware data compression. Compressing
data with software uses considerably more CPU cycles to
process the data.

original host or the server on which the file is written. This
option is displayed only when you back up to a disk image file.
User read permission
Default=all users. By default, any user on a host with access to
the system and directory on which this file is written has
permission to read, or restore from, this image. Press Tab to
limit the read permission to only the original user, the root user
on the original host, or the server to which the file is written.
This option is displayed only when you back up to a disk
