NWBACKUP(8)                Legato NetWorker 4.1.1                NWBACKUP(8)


NAME
       nwbackup - NetWorker graphical backup interface

SYNOPSIS
       nwbackup [ -s server ]

DESCRIPTION
       nwbackup is an X Window System application.  It is a front end to
       save(8) and used to save files to a NetWorker server on an ad hoc
       basis.  Normally, files are saved automatically.

       The server's name may be specified with the -s server argument.  When
       no server is specified, nwbackup uses the server selection rules
       found in nsr(8).  When multiple NetWorker servers are accessible,
       they may be selected from within the nwbackup command.

       NetWorker supports both scheduled network-wide backups and manual
       backups of client system files and directories. To request an
       immediate manual backup, run nwbackup

       Check that the correct NetWorker server is selected. The Server is
       identified in the Main window. You can change servers using the
       Change Server command if necessary. This is the Server to which the
       client files will be backed up. The hostname of the current client is
       displayed in the Client field. The pathname of the current directory
       is displayed in the Selection field.

       Change directories by entering the full pathname in the Selection
       field or by highlighting the icon in the Backup window.

       To perform a manual backup, first mark the files and directories that
       you want to back up by selecting their checkboxes. Then select Start
       backup... from the File menu of the Backup window. You must select
       whether to compress files or exclude patterns in the Backup Options
       dialog box to continue the backup.

       Monitor the progress of the backup in the Backup Status window.
       Check to see that a backup volume is mounted in the Pending display
       of the Main window.

       A complete explanation of the nwbackup command may be found in the
       NetWorker User's Guide.
