Archiving Data
4
You can archive a directory and verify the archive in one step. NetWorker verifies the
archive by comparing the data on the archive volume with the data on the local disk,
byte for byte, attribute for attribute. If there are any discrepancies, NetWorker lets you
know.
The NSRARCH command for archiving and verifying the archive includes the
following parameters:
• -s, the parameter for the server.
The name of the server to which you are archiving the directory.
•(Optional) -b, the parameter for the volume pool.
(Optional) The name of the volume pool, which must be enclosed in quotes if the
name is more than one word. Archive is the name of the default volume pool.
• -V, the verify parameter.
• -T, the parameter for the annotation text.
The annotation text, which must be enclosed in quotes if the text is more than one
word. Annotation text must be alphanumeric; avoid using characters. Keep the
annotation text simple. When NetWorker searches for an annotation, the search is
case-sensitive.
• The pathname of the directory that you are archiving.
Using the Command Interpreter
From the CI, enter the following command to archive and verify the archive:
: RUN NSRARCH;INFO=“-s
server -b volume pool -V -T “ annotation
text
“ directory_pathname “
For example:
: RUN NSRARCH;INFO=“-s
jupiter -b “ Project Archive “ -V -T
“
project1 “ /projects/project1“
When you start the NSRARCH program, keep the following points in mind:
• If you have a multiserver network and do not specify a server name, NetWorker
chooses an archive server for you.
• If you do not specify a volume pool for your archive, the volume pool becomes
Archive by default.
• If you do not know which volume pool to choose, contact the system
administrator.
• If you do not include the -T (annotation text) parameter and an annotation when
you archive files, NetWorker displays the following prompt:
Please enter annotation for this archive (type <Return> when
finished): [Return] or [Enter]
NetWorker displays the list of directories and files while archiving and verifying.
When archiving and verifying is complete, NetWorker displays the following
information:
