Backing Up Your Files
Backing Up Your Files
To back up all or selected files on your disk using file-mode operation:
1. Prepare a backup tape. This tape must be write-enabled. For a tape reel, insert a
write-ring; for a cartridge tape, turn the SAFE arrow to point away from the word
SAFE.
2. Locate an available tape drive, but do not mount the tape until you start the Backup
process.
3. Enter a Backup command at the TACL prompt:
run-options
One or more run options. See the RUN command in the TACL Reference Manual.
tape-drive
Name of a local or remote tape drive, or a TAPE DEFINE name.
qualified-file-set-list
One or more file-set lists (including any qualifiers) specifying the files you want to
back up.
command-option
Backup command option. See Table 11-2 .
For example, this Backup command contains only the required elements (the
keyword Backup, the tape drive name, and a qualified file-set list), and copies all
files from the $DATA.USER subvolume to the tape on the tape drive $TAPE1:
Backup attempts to access the tape drive $TAPE1. If the drive is available, Backup
takes control of the drive, displays its program banner, and prompts you for a tape:
The program banner includes the name of the program, the product number and
release version, the release date, and the copyright notice.
The “Not ready?” message indicates that Backup has control of tape drive $TAPE1
and is waiting for you to mount your tape on this drive. To cancel the Backup
operation, enter CTRL-Y at the “Not ready?” prompt; you will exit the Backup
program and return to the TACL program.
