HP B6960-90078 manual Equivalent to a BACKUP/PHYSICAL, 202

Backup

Backing Up OpenVMS Systems

Files can be backed up from mounted FILES-11 ODS-2 or ODS-5 volumes only.

Limitations	•	Any file specifications that are entered into the GUI or passed to the
		CLI must be in UNIX style syntax:
		/disk/directory1/directory2/filename.ext.n
		— The string should begin with a slash, followed by the disk,
		directories, and filename, separated by slashes.
		— Do not place a colon after the disk name.
		— A period should be used before the version number instead of a
		semi-colon.
		— File specifications for OpenVMS files are case insensitive.
		For example:
		An OpenVMS file specification of:
		$1$DGA100:[USERS.DOE]LOGIN.COM;1
		must be specified in the form:
		/$1$DGA100/Users/Doe/Login.Com.1
	• There is no implicit version number. You always have to specify a
		version number. Only file versions selected for the backup will be
		backed up. If you wish to include all versions of the file, select them
		all in the GUI window, or, using the CLI, include the file
		specifications under the Only (-only)option, including wildcards for
		the version number, as follows
		/DKA1/dir1/filename.txt.*
	•	If the Do not preserve access time attributes (-touch) option
		is enabled during a backup, the last accessed date will be updated
		with the current date and time on ODS-5 disks. On ODS-2 disks, this
		option has no effect, and all the dates remain unchanged.
	• Rawdisk backups are not available on OpenVMS. There is no
		equivalent to a “BACKUP/PHYSICAL”.
	•	The Backup POSIX hard links as files (-hlink),Software
		compression (-compress), and Encode (-encode) options are not
		available on OpenVMS.
