ndsbackup -- back up NetWare server master replicas

Synopsis

tfadmin ndsbackup [-l] -o filename [-G tty][-M message] [-v]

Description

Use ndsbackup on the UnixWare command line to back up the master replicas on a NetWare server.

This is a disaster-recover utility and should not be used as the primary backup for your master replicas. You should use this utility only as a precaution in case your system experiences a major catastrophe that destroys all replicas.

For your primary backup procedure, we recommend that you create at least two replicas of each master and store them on other servers.

Options

-l
List all the master replicas on the server.

-o filename
Back up all the master replicas on the server to the file or device specified with filename.

-G tty
Specify where to display prompts that the media cartridge is full and a new one needs to be inserted. Uses a default message unless you use the -M option.

-M message
Specify a customized message to be displayed when the media cartridge is full. This message appears in the window from which you ran ndsbackup unless you specify another location with the -G option.

-v
Print out the objects that are backed up (verbose).

Usage
