       NAME
             tsaunix - Storage Management Services (SMS) Target Service
             Agent (TSA) for UnixWare

       SYNOPSIS
             tsaunix

       DESCRIPTION
             The tsaunix program implements the Storage Management Services
             (SMS) Target Service Agent (TSA) API on a UnixWare machine for
             the purposes of backing up mounted file systems.  When the
             tsad(1) program receives a connection request from a SMS
             backup/restore engine on a NetWare server, it will spawn a
             tsaunix process to perform the actual backup or restore.
             tsaunix does not cross mount points and does not traverse the
             symbolic links while backing up. It does not backup the remote
             file systems (for example, NFS).

             The local file systems are the primary resources and the
             directory on which a file system is mounted is shown as the
             resource. The leading ``/'' in the mount point directory is
             shown as ROOT: on the backup engine.

             The user can specify the scan control options from the engine
             to customize how to scan the directories and files to back up.
             One of the scan control options specific to UNIX is ``Exclude
             device special files.''  This option is set to ``no'' by
             default which means that the device special files are backed
             up in default case.

             The user can choose the selection list for file systems,
             directories and files for backup and restore. The selection
             list is specified on the backup engine and is the
             include/exclude list for file systems, directories and files.

             A default exclusion list (paths that by default will not be
             backed up) is created from the /etc/Ignore file on the
             UnixWare system, removing any paths mentioned in /etc/Backup.

             The default exclusion list takes precedence over the selection
             list sent by the backup engine.

             The backup data is encoded in System Independent Data Format
             (SIDF).

      FILES
            /usr/lib/locale/LC_MESSAGES/tsaunix.cat
                  language specific message file [See LANG on environ(5)].

            /etc/Ignore
                  Paths that should not be backed up by default.

            /etc/Backup
                  Paths that should be backed up even if they are implied
                  by entries in /etc/Ignore.  tsaunix  uses this file only
                  to eliminate the entries common to both /etc/Backup and
                  /etc/Ignore from the default exclusion list.
