DESCRIPTION

       nsrndmp_save coordinates the backup process with NetWorker and a target
       Network Data Management Protocol(NDMP) system. Only the super-user  may
       run  this   command.  The user must specify a backup type, client-name,
       server, and path.

       The behavior of the backup depends on the NDMP system being  protected.
       Certain  environment  variables may be needed depending upon the target
       system.  Documentation for such backups should be  consulted  for  more
       details.

       The status of a backup can be monitored using the X Window System-based
       nwadmin(1) program or the  curses(3X)  based  nsrwatch(1)  program  for
       other terminal types.

       nsrndmp_save  is  not  responsible  for moving data on the NDMP system.
       All such activity is handled by the NDMP system.  nsrndmp_save receives
       messages  from  the NDMP system and processes them appropriately.  Such
       messages could request a new tape be mounted or a file index  entry  to
       be  created.   Refer to the NDMP specification and documentation avail-
       able at www.ndmp.org for more details.

       Details  about  handling  media   are   discussed   in   nsrmm(1)   and
       nsr_device(5).

       In order to save data for another system, make sure the user performing
       the nsrndmp_save operation is on the remote access  attribute  list  of
       the client resource. See nsr_client(5).

OPTIONS

       -c client-name
              Specifies  the  client name for starting the save session.  This
              is useful on clients with multiple network interfaces, and hence
              multiple  host  names.   It can be used to create multiple index
              databases for the same physical client.  Note that this does not
              specify  the network interface to use.  This is specified in the
              server network interface attribute of the client  resource.  See
              nsr_client(5).

       -g group
              Is  used  by savegrp(1) and savefs(1) to denote the group of the
              save. See nsr_client(5) and nsr_group(5).  It is  also  used  by
              the NetWorker server to select the specific media pool.

       -l level
              Indicates  the  level of the save.  This option is used by save-

       -m masquerade
              Specifies the tag to precede the summary line.  This  option  is
              used by savegrp(1) and savefs(1) to aid in savegrp summary noti-
              fications.

       -n     Indicates no save.  Not supported, but provided for  compatibil-
              ity.

       -N name
              Indicates  the  symbolic name of this save set.  By default, the
              most common prefix of the path arguments is used as the save set
              name.

       -q     Indicates quiet.  Not supported, but provided for compatibility.

       -s server
              Specifies which machine to use as the NetWorker server.

       -t date
              Indicates the date (in nsr_getdate(3) format) after which  files
              must  have been modified before they will be saved.  This option
              is used by savegrp(1) and savefs(1) to perform  scheduled  saves
              by consulting with the media database to determine the appropri-
              ate time value based on the previous saves for the save set  and
              the level of the scheduled save.

       -T backup-type
              The type of backup on the NDMP server, for example celestra.

       -e expiration
              Set the date (in nsr_getdate(3) format) when the saved data will
              expire.  When a save set has an explicit  expiration  date,  the
              save  set  remains  both  browsable  and non-recyclable until it
              expires.  After it expires and it has passed  its  browse  time,
              its  state  will become non-browsable.  If it has expired and it
              has passed its retention time, the save set  will  become  recy-
              clable.   The  special  value forever is used to indicate that a
              volume that never expires (i.e. an archive or a  migration  vol-
              ume)  must  be used.  By default, no explicit expiration date is
              used.

       -w browse
              Sets the date (in nsr_getdate(3) format) after which  the  saved
              data will no longer be browsable.  By default, the server deter-
              mines the browse date for the save set based on the browse poli-
              cies  in  effect.   This  option  allows overriding the existing
              policies on a save by save basis.

       -y retention
              Sets the date (in nsr_getdate(3) format)  when  the  saved  data
              will  become  recyclable.   The special value forever is used to
              indicate that a volume that never expires (i.e. an archive or  a
              migration  volume)  must be used.  By default, the server deter-
              mines this date for the save set based on the retention policies
              in  effect.  This option allows overriding the existing policies
              on a save by save basis.
