- NAME
- PsiBackup - backup an NFS mounted Psion.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- perl -w PsiBackup.pl [options]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- PsiBackup backs up a Psion Series 3a organizer, mounted to a Unix system
- using NFS. The conventions used in file names are identical to the
- conventions of Psion's PsiWin and RCOM programs.
-
- IMPORTANT: Before starting the back up, all Psion tasks that use files
- on the disk to be backed up should be manually stopped.
-
- Options
-
- -mount *dir*
- The NFS mount point for the Psion. The default value /psion.std/mnt
- corresponds to the default name used by p3nfsd.
-
- -backup *dir*
- The destination directory for the backup, e.g. /@psion. The names
- of the Psion and the disk will be appended to it to form the actual
- name of the backup directory.
-
- -name *name*
- Optionally, the name of this Psion system. Useful if you want to
- backup several organizers in the same backup directory.
-
- -disk *name*
- Identification of the Psion disk to back up. Possible values are i
- (default, the internal disk), a and b (the SSD's), c (the 3-Link
- ROM) and r (the Psion's internal ROM).
-
- -[no]archive
- Do [not] archive old versions of files under a @archive tree.
- Archiving is default enabled for the disks, and disabled for the
- ROMs.
-
- -limit *nn*
- Limit the number of archive copies to *nn* versions. Default is 16.
- Note that RCOM maintains only one copy, and PsiWin allows up to 3
- copies.
-
- -help
- A short help for the PsiBackup command.
-
- -ident
- Show the program identification.
-
- -verbose
- Supply verbose progress information during the process.
-
- -quiet
- Supply no progress information during the process.
-
-
- ENVIRONMENT
- PsiBackup uses no environment variables.

-
- BUGS
- The program can not stop active applications on the Psion, nor can it
- check the Psion's owner information to verify that the correct organizer
- is being backed up.
