Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Reference
|
|
|
|Use this command to start a backup operation for a network-attached
|storage (NAS) node.
|Backups that are created for NAS nodes with this BACKUP NODE command are
|functionally equivalent to backups that are created by using the BACKUP NAS
|command on a Tivoli Storage Manager client. You can restore these
|backups with either the server's RESTORE NODE command or the
|client's RESTORE NAS command.
|Privilege Class
|To issue this command, you must have system privilege, policy privilege for
|the domain to which the node is assigned, or client owner authority over the
|node.

|Parameters
|
- |node_name (Required)
- |Specifies the node for which the backup will be performed. You
|cannot use wildcard characters or specify a list of names.
- |file_system_name
- |Specifies the name of one or more file systems to back up. The file
|system name that you specify cannot contain wildcard characters. You
|can specify more than one file system by separating the names with commas and
|no intervening spaces. If you do not specify a file system, all file
|systems will be backed up. In determining the file systems to process,
|the server will not use any DOMAIN.NAS, INCLUDE.FS.NAS,
|or EXCLUDE.FS.NAS statements in any client option file or client
|option set. If you back up multiple file systems, each file system
|backs up as a separate server process.
- |MGmtclass
- |Specifies the name of the management class to which this backup data is
|bound. If you do not specify a management class, the backup data is
|bound to the default management class of the policy domain to which the node
|is assigned. In determining the management class, the server will
|not use any INCLUDE.FS.NAS statements in any client
|option file or client option set.
- |MODE
-
|Specifies whether the file system backups are full or differential.
|The default is DIFFERENTIAL.
|
- |FULL
- |Specifies to back up the entire file system.
- |DIFFerential
- |Specifies to back up only the files that have changed since the most
|recent full backup. If you choose a differential backup, and a full
|backup is not found, a full backup is performed.
|
- |Wait
- |Specifies whether to wait for the server to complete processing this
|command in the foreground. The default is NO. Possible values
|are:
|
- |No
- |Specifies that the server processes this command in the background.
|Use the QUERY PROCESS command to monitor the background processing of this
|command.
- |Yes
- |Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground.
|You wait for the command to complete before continuing with other
|tasks. The server then displays the output messages to the
|administrative client when the command completes. If you are backing up
|multiple file systems, all backup processes must complete before the command
|is complete.
- |Note:
- You cannot specify Wait=Yes from the server console.
|
|
|
|Examples
|Task
|Perform a full backup on the /vol/vol10 file system of NAS node
|NAS1.
|
- |Command:
- |backup node nas1 /vol/vol10 mode=full
