Backing up filesystems

Browsing backup file lists

In the Backup Manager, you can browse the file lists for scheduled backups or on media contents.

To look at files in a scheduled backup, do one of the following:

Select the filesystem from the list, select Backup History from the Examine menu, select the backup to browse, and click on the Browse File List button.
Select the filesystem from the list, select From Backup History from the Restore menu, select Directories or Files, and click on the Select button.

To look at files on media (not a scheduled backup), do one of the following:

Select Media Contents from the Examine menu, then verify and insert the volume into the drive.
Select From Current Media from the Restore menu, select Files Selected From Media List, click on Select Files, and insert the specified media volume.

While viewing the filenames in the list, you can display the files in a directory by double-clicking on the directory name. To return to the previous directory listing, click on the Show Parent Directory button.

To search for a specific filename on the media, click on Search for Pattern, enter the pattern, and click on OK. You can use these Bourne shell wildcard characters in the search pattern:

*: match any string, including the null string
?: match any single character

For example, to search for all files with ``bin'' in the filename, enter the following search pattern:

*bin*

See ``Wildcard characters'' for more information.
