The backup nas command creates an image backup of one or more file systems belonging to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) file server. The NAS file server performs the outboard data movement. A server process starts in order to perform the backup.
Use the nasnodename option to specify the node name for the NAS file server. When using an interactive command line session with a non-administrative ID, Tivoli Storage Manager prompts for an administrator ID. The NAS node name identifies the NAS file server to the Tivoli Storage Manager server; the NAS node name must be registered at the server. Place the nasnodename option in your client options file dsm.opt. The value in the client options file is the default, but can be overridden on the command line. See Nasnodename for more information.
Use the mode option to specify whether to perform a full or differential NAS image backup. A full image backup backs up the entire file system. The default is a differential NAS image backup on files that change after the last full image backup. If an eligible full image backup does not exist, a full image backup is performed. See Mode for more information.
Use the monitor option to specify whether you want to monitor a NAS file system image backup and display processing information on your screen. See Monitor.
Use the monitor process command to display a list of all processes for which an administrative user ID has authority. The authorized administrative user ID should have at least client owner authority over both the NAS node and the client workstation node they are using either from command line or from the web.
Use the cancel process command to stop NAS back up processing. For more information, see Cancel Process.
A NAS file system specification uses the following conventions:
