BackupAndRestoreManager - Shedule or Unschedule Backups, Restore Files
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME BackupAndRestoreManager - Shedule or Unschedule Backups, Restore Files SYNOPSIS /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaSchedBackupCatalog.cdf DESCRIPTION Managers display information about your system and provide access to interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your system. For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add a User Account" and "Modify a User Account." In a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window. The Backup and Restore Manager displays the set of backups that are scheduled on your system (if any). From the Backup and Restore manager, you may start an immediate backup, schedule a backup for a later time or on a recurring basis, unschedule a backup, and restore backed up files. GUIDES Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users through the steps necessary to perform various system administration tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the system. A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys). When the user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd. See backup(1M), restore(1M), unschedBackup(1M) for more information. Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or be assigned the necessary privileges (using the privilegemanager(1)) in order to perform the task. Back Up Files This task lets you perform or schedule a backup of files on your system. If you schedule a backup, you may schedule it for a single time in the future, or you may schedule a recurring backup on a daily or weekly basis. In order to backup files that you do not own or for which you do not have write permission, you will need to schedule a backup as the administrator. You will need privileges or the root password to schedule a backup as the Administrator. Restore Files From a Backup This task lets you restore files on your system from a previous backup. The backup can be on a disk file or a tape. You will need privileges or the root password to restore files that you do not own or for which you do not have write permission. Unschedule Backup This task lets you unschedule a previously-scheduled backup. If the backup is scheduled as the Administrator, you will need privileges or the root password to complete the unscheduling. SEE ALSO sysmgr(1M), backup(1M), restore(1M), unschedBackup(1M).
