Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
The mode option specifies whether you want to perform a
selective or incremental image backup (non-NAS objects), or a full or
differential image backup of NAS file systems. The mode
option has no effect on a raw logical device backup.
- Note:
- The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for AIX, AIX 5L, HP/UX, Linux86, and Solaris
only.

Parameters
- selective
- Specifies that you want to perform a full (selective) image backup.
This is the default.
- incremental
- Specifies that you want to back up only new and changed files after the
last full image backup. Deleted files are not inactivated on the
server.
- full
- Specifies that you want to perform a NAS image backup of an entire file
system.
- differential
- Specifies that you want to perform a NAS image backup of files that
changed since the last full image backup. If an eligible full image
backup does not exist, a full image backup occurs. This is the
default.
