You perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as the filesystem backup. For the
procedure, see the online Help index: “creating backup specifications”.
Additionally, specify the supported MPE/iX backup options in the form of extended
variables. See “User-definable backup variables” on page 30.
User-definable backup variables
Set user-definable backup variables (a variable name and its value) to enable flexible
operation of the Data Protector MPE/iX integration.
Table 4 on page 30 lists backup variables and their values.
Table 4 List of backup variables
DescriptionValueVariable
If this variable is used, files must be closed for
write access during backup. This provides
compatibility to pre-MPE/iX 5.5 TurboSTORE
backup behavior. The TurboSTORE/iX log file logs
information about the files that could not be
backed up. This log is created during backup and
restore and is presented as
/tmp/storeprocessid.log.
none (default)ONLINE
If this variable is used, files are not required to be
closed for write access during backup. If
ONLINE=START is not set, “open file” errors will
occur during backup. For more information, see
the TurboSTORE/iX documentation
STARTONLINE
Used to back up the MPE system directory
information, which keeps track of the accounts,
groups, users, and files (but not of the private
volume sets). Storing directory information helps
you rebuild your system from backups if you
unexpectedly lose information. All hierarchical
filesystem directories on the system are also stored
when DIRECTORY is specified.
none (default)DIRECTORY
User-definable options depending on TurboSTORE/iX options are: DIRECTORY,
ONLINE, ONLINE=START. These options are mapped to the same TurboSTORE/iX
options.
