NAME
       nsrarchive - archive files to long term storage with NetWorker

SYNOPSIS
       nsrarchive  [ -BinpqvxVy ] [ -b pool ] [ -C clone pool ] [ -f directive
       filename ] [ -G remove ] [ -N name ] [ -R name ] [ -s  server  ]	 [  -T
       annotation ] [ -o save_operations ] [ -W width ] [ path ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       nsrarchive archives files, including directories or entire filesystems,
       to the NetWorker server (see nsr(8)).  The progress of an  archive  can
       be  monitored using the Java based NetWorker Management Console program
       or the curses(3X) based nsrwatch(8) program for other  terminal	types.
       Use  of	nsrarchive  is	restricted to users in NetWorker administrator
       list or archive users lists with "Backup local data" privilege.

       If no path arguments are specified, the current directory is  archived.
       nsrarchive  archives  a directory by archiving all the files and subdi‐
       rectories it contains, but it does not cross  mount  points  or	follow
       symbolic links.

       The  directive files (see nsr(5)) encountered in each directory is read
       by default, The files contain special instructions directing  how  par‐
       ticular	files are to be archived (that is, compressed, skipped, etc.).
       These files are named .nsr for UNIX platforms and nsr.dir  for  Windows
       platforms.

       Each  file  in  the subdirectory structures specified by the path argu‐
       ments is encapsulated in a NetWorker archive stream.   This  stream  of
       data  is	 sent  to  a  receiving process (see nsrd(8)) on the NetWorker
       server.	Entries are added to the media database for the	 archive  save
       set.   The  data	 eventually resides on a long term storage medium (see
       nsrmmd(8)).

       Details	about  handling	 media	 are   discussed   in	nsrmm(8)   and
       nsr_device(5).

       If  the	grooming  option, -G remove, is requested, you can selectively
       remove files and directories that have been archived.  If  verification
       is requested, the files will not be removed if the verification failed.
       Likewise, the files will not be removed if a requested  cloning	opera‐
       tion fails.  The user is prompted for confirmation before the files and
       directories are removed unless the -y option is supplied.

       If the user does not supply a -T option on the command line,  the  user
       is prompted to enter an annotation for the archive.

OPTIONS
       -b pool
	      Specify  a  destination  pool for the archive save set.  If this
	      option is not used, the Indexed Archive pool is used.

       -B     Force archive of all connecting directory information from  root
	      (``/'')  down to the point of invocation.	 The connecting direc‐
	      tory information is always archived even without this option  if
	      client file index is generated.

       -C clone pool
	      Generate a clone of this archive save set to the specified clone
	      pool.

       -E     Estimate the amount of data which will be generated by  the  ar‐
	      chive,  then perform the actual archive.	The estimate is gener‐
	      ated from the inode information, and thus the data is only  read
	      once.

       -f filename
	      The file from which to read  default directives (see nsr(5)).  A
	      filename of - causes the default	directives  to	be  read  from
	      standard input.

       -i     Ignore  directive files as they are encountered in the subdirec‐
	      tory structures being archived.

       -G remove
	      Groom the files after they have been archived.   If  cloning  or
	      verification  is requested, no grooming is performed until those
	      operations have completed successfully.

	      Be aware that the groom option must  be  entered	as  -G remove.
	      Entering -G alone will not invoke the groom option.

		     The user is prompted for removal of files and directories
		     unless the -y option is supplied as one of the nsrarchive
		     options.	The  valid remove responses and their meanings
		     are:

		     n	    Keep the current file or directory.

		     y	    Remove the current file or directory.

		     N	    Keep all remaining files and directories.

		     Y	    Remove all remaining files and directories.

		     The default response, "n",	 is  displayed	within	square
		     brackets  and  can be selected by pressing [Return]. When
		     either Y or N is  specified,  there  will	be  no	furher
		     prompting and each subsequent removal decision is made as
		     if the corresponding lower case letter has been selected.

		     nsrarchive creates a temporary file which contains a list
		     of	 all  files and directories to be removed.  The tempo‐
		     rary file is placed in /tmp unless the environment	 vari‐
		     able TMPDIR is set.

	      -n     No	 archive.   Estimate  the amount of data which will be
		     generated by the archive, but do not perform  the	actual
		     archive.

	      -N name
		     The  symbolic name of this archive save set.  By default,
		     the first path argument is used as the name.

	      -v     Verbose.  Cause the nsrarchive program  to	 tell  you  in
		     great detail what it is doing as it proceeds.

	      -p     Exit  with	 status	 0.   Used  by	server to determine if
		     client installed properly.

	      -q     Quiet.  Display only summary information  or  error  mes‐
		     sages.

	      -R name
		     This  option should only be used by the nsralist program,
		     which handles executing archive requests.	Updates to the
		     named  archive request resource occur when this option is
		     specified.

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

	      -T annotation
		     Archive save sets can be annotated with  arbitrary	 text.
		     This  option specifies an annotation for the archive save
		     set being generated.

	      -V     Verify the archive save set after it completes.

	      -o save_operations
		     Save Operations of the form KEYWORD:TOKEN=STATE.	It  is
		     used to configure VSS saves on Windows 2003.  Examples:

		     "vss:*=off"			  Turn off VSS.

		     "vss:Microsoft Exchange Writer=off"  Disable a writer.

		     "vss:C:=off"			  Disable VSS for a drive.

		     Please see the Admin Guide for more details.

	      -W width
		     The width used when formatting summary information output.

	      -x     Cross mount points.

	      -y     Answer yes to any questions.
