If you are using SCO ARCserve/Open Lite, you
must use the arcserve.cmd utility (located in
/usr/lib/ARCserve)
to perform basic backup and restore operations from
the command line. This utility is useful for scheduling
SCO ARCserve/Open jobs from
cron(1)
or other such scheduling utilities.
NOTE:
The documented command line options for the Full version
of SCO ARCserve/Open are not available to
the Lite product.
The arcserve.cmd utility syntax is:
For backup jobs:
arcserve.cmd -b [-eEgiIt] source_path
where -b is for backup and source_path
is what you want backed up. You must specify the
directory to back up in source_path.
For restore jobs:
arcserve.cmd -r [-deEgiInt]
where -r is for restore.
Optional parameters include:
-d
destination path. If no destination path is specified,
the destination is the current directory.
-h
help on usage.
-e
exclude certain file patterns, which must be in quotes.
-E
exclude certain directory patterns, which must be in quotes.
-g
tape group name that the job should use. If no group
is specified, the default tape group is used (the one
with the lowest SCSI ID).
-i
include certain file patterns, which must be in quotes.
-I
include certain directory patterns, which must be in quotes.
