Controlling the 7x24 True Online Backup
You can set three different controls for the 7x24 True Online Backup:
• The ONLINE=START option allows you to perform file, database application,
and system backups without closing the files or disks. This setting is the default.
• The ONLINE option allows you to specify ONLINE without START or END.
• The OFF option allows you to turn the ONLINE option off if changes are being
made to files.
To control the 7x24 True Online Backup, add one of the following system variables
when you start a CI session:
: SETVAR NSR_MPE_7X24_ONLINE ”
ONLINE=START ”
: SETVAR NSR_MPE_7X24_ONLINE ”
ONLINE ”
: SETVAR NSR_MPE_7X24_ONLINE ”
OFF ”
You can also set this system variable from the POSIX shell:
$ export NSR_MPE_7X24_ONLINE=”
ONLINE=START ”
Refer to the 900 Series HP3000 Computer Systems STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Products
Manual for more information on this feature.
Backing Up a Directory
You can back up directories or files from the MPE Command Interpreter (CI) or from
the POSIX shell.
The NSRSAVE command to back up a directory includes the following parameters:
• -s, the parameter for the server
• The name of the server to which you are backing up your directory
•The pathname of the directory that you are backing up
Using the Command Interpreter
From the CI, enter the following command to back up a directory:
: RUN NSRSAVE;INFO="-s server
/directory_pathname "
For example:
: RUN NSRSAVE;INFO="-s jupiter
/projects/project1/reports "
In the example, jupiter is the name of the server and /projects/project1/reports is the
directory pathname.
