    BACKUP PARTITIONS


    You can use this module to perform incremental or full backups, or
    to schedule backups, on file systems (disk partitions). You do not
    need to know specific UNIX backup commands; Enlighten will prompt
    you for all the information needed to create the backup. The Backup
    Partitions window is shown below.


    You can have Enlighten catalog the backed-up files. To do so, turn
    on the Catalog function in the Session Preferences menu item (see
    "Session Preferences" on page 2-2). These catalogs can be queried at
    a later time to help find instances of backed up files. The default
    is NOT to keep a catalog of backed-up files.

    If the catalog option is enabled, you should enter a catalog name in
    the Catalog Name field. This can be a file name or just an
    identifying tag. If no name is entered, the default name of NONAME
    is used.

    The rest of this section details the other backup options.

    Full Backup

    This program will backup all files on the highlighted partitions.
    The window displays a list of all current local and NFS mounted
    partitions. Select the partitions you wish to backup. No other input
    is necessary, except for the backup device name. Enter the logical
    device name or click on the arrow button for a pick list of defined
    backup devices.

    Once you've selected the backup device name, click on the Full
    button. A window will appear asking for confirmation of your action.
    Once the backup is completed, the name of the file will be displayed
    on the screen.

    Incremental Backup

    This program will only backup those files in the highlighted
    partitions which have been modified since a prior backup or were
    modified in the last n days. You should use this for daily backups
    since it runs much faster than a full backup. Highlight the
    partition name(s) for incremental backup and enter the desired
    backup device. (You can also click on the arrow button for a pick
    list of available backup devices.)

    Then, click on the Incremental button. A window will prompt you for
    the type of incremental backup to run, as shown below.

    The options are Backup files CHANGED:

    + Since last full backup (the default)
    + Since last incremental backup
    + Within time period (the last n days)

    You may select only one option. Once you've made all your
    selections, click on the Apply button. As Enlighten does the backup,
    a listing of each file it archives will be displayed in a window.

    Schedule Backup

    This program helps you automatically schedule a full or incremental
    backup. For further details on how this process works, see "Schedule
    Backups" on page 6-17.
