BACKUP
/OUTPUT:filespec
Used only with the /DIRECTORY option. The /OUTPUT:filespec option with the
/DIRECTORY option stores a backup or logical-disk volume directory in a file.
This command lists the directory of the saveset file MYBACK.BUP in the file
MYBACK.DIR:
.BACKUP/DIRECTORY/OUTPUT:DU0:MYBACK.DIR DU1:MYBACK.BUP/SAVESET
You must specify a device name with the /OUTPUT option if you want to place
the directory listing in a file. If you do not also specify a file name for a saveset
directory, the default directory-output file name is BUPDIR.DIR. If you do not
also specify a file name for a logical-disk directory, the default directory-output
file name is BACKUPDIR.DIR.
/PRINTER
Used only with the /DIRECTORY option. The /PRINTER option with the
/DIRECTORY option prints directory listings of backup or logical-disk volumes.
The following command sends a backup volume directory to a printer:
.BACKUP/DIRECTORY/PRINTER MU0:
/[NO]QUERY
Prompts you for the various responses required from the terminal. This is the
default. The /NOQUERY option inhibits prompting. You may want to do this in
a KMON command or IND control file to write a single disk or magtape output
volume. However, if the backup volume is not large enough to hold the data, the
mount prompt(s) for the subsequent volumes requires terminal response, even if
you use the /NOQUERY option.
/RESTORE
Restores backed-up data to a standard RT–11 formatted disk. You can restore:
• Complete savesets as a file or as a device
• Selected files from a saveset
• Selected files from a logical-disk file
• File-image backups not contained in a saveset or subset (data backed up as
a file by RT–11 before Version 5.5)—see the /FILE option for a description of
this operation
You can use wildcards to restore files of only a particular name or type.
Defaults
If you do not specify other options with /RESTORE, the BACKUP command uses
the /SAVESET option and restores all the files in the saveset BACKUP.BUP. If
that saveset does not exist on the input device, BUP returns an error message.
