NSRNDMP_SAVE(8)						       NSRNDMP_SAVE(8)

NAME
       nsrndmp_save  -	use  NetWorker	and  Network  Data Management Protocol
       (NDMP) to save data

SYNOPSIS
       nsrndmp_save -T backup-type -c client-name [ -LL ] [ -M ] [  -P	Proxy-
       host  ]	[  -I  Index-host ] [ -g group ] [ -l level ] [ -b pool ] [ -m
       masquerade ] [ -N name ] [ -s server ] [ -t date ] [ -e expiration ]  [
       -w browse_time ] [ -y retention_time ] [ -W width ] path

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 Java based NetWorker
       Management Console or the  curses(3X)  based  nsrwatch(8)  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(8)   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).

       -M     An  NDMP client will be backed up to a NetWorker storage node by
	      the nsrdsa_save program. This option provides most of  the  Net‐
	      Worker storage node features, such as backup to disk, multiplex‐
	      ing, automedia verification, and staging. The nsrndmp_save  pro‐
	      gram spawns nsrdsa_save locally.	A NetWorker storage node host‐
	      name should be  listed  in  the  "storage	 nodes"	 attribute  of
	      server's client-name resource.
	      Notes:
	      Save  sets  that	are  backed up by nsrndmp_save via nsrdsa_save
	      will be treated as regular NetWorker save set and will have save
	      set  flags  as  'N'  and	's'. 'N' indicates NDMP client and 's'
	      indicates backed up to NetWorker storage node.  See  mminfo  (8)
	      for more details.

       -P proxy-host
	      nsrndmp_save  spawns  nsrdsa_save on Proxy-host. Proxy-host must
	      be a valid NetWorker client and should be listed in  the	remote
	      access  list  of	client-name  resource. This host will act as a
	      proxy to NDMP Data Server to recieve the data  and  save	it  to
	      NetWorker storage device. This option is valid only with -M.

       -I index-host
	      Used by savegrp to spawn nsrndmp_save on Index-host.  Index-host
	      must be a valid NetWorker client and should  be  listed  in  the
	      remote  access list of client-name resource. This host is desig‐
	      nated to perform NDMP backup initiation  and  index  processing.
	      This host must have 'Operate NetWorker' privileges.

       -g group
	      Is  used	by savegrp(8) and savefs(8) 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‐
	      grp(8) and savefs(8) to specify a particular level for a	sched‐
	      uled save.

       -b pool
	      Specifies a particular destination pool for the save.

       -L     When  two	 -L options are specified, this option causes an extra
	      line to be printed at the	 end  of  the  form  ``complete	 save‐
	      time=number'', where number is the savetime of the save set cre‐
	      ated by this backup.  Used by savegrp(8).

       -m masquerade
	      Specifies the tag to precede the summary line.  This  option  is
	      used by savegrp(8) and savefs(8) 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. The indexes get stored against the actual path 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(8) and savefs(8) 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 (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.

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