Parameters
- value

during which the volume is available to other system applications. This
is the default for file systems residing on a logical volume created by the
Linux Logical Volume Manager. Valid for Linux86 only.

unmounted and remounted read-only. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the
volume as is without remounting it read-only. Corruption of
the backup may occur if applications write to the volume while the backup is
in progress. In this case, run chkdsk after a
restore.

class. Specifies that you want to perform an offline image backup
during which the volume is unmounted and remounted read only. This is
the default for AIX, AIX5L, Solaris, and HP-UX. Valid for AIX, AIX5L,
