    BACKUP CATALOG QUERY

    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.

    You can use the Backup Catalog window (shown below) to search
    through the catalog of backed up files. There are many search
    criteria available for finding files, including by name, owner,
    size, and modification date.


    The rest of this section defines the fields and parameters for this
    function. If no entry is made in a particular field, all values for
    that field are used in the search pattern.

    Fields

    This window contains the following fields.

    Catalog Name

    Use this field to limit the search to the specified catalog names.
    Make sure you enter the correct catalog names and place a space
    between each catalog name if you are specifying multiple catalogs.

    Backup made since

    Each catalog has a backup date and time associated with it.
    Specifying an entry in this field will limit the search to any
    backups made after the date entered. You can use one of two formats
    for the date. See "TIME FORMATS" on page C-1 for more details.

    Backup made before

    Specifying a date in this field (which uses the same format as the
    previous field) will limit the search to any files backed up before
    the date entered. You can also use the two Backup fields (since and
    before) together to specify a range of backup times in your search.

    Find Filenames like

    Use this field to specify file names to use in the search pattern.
    The file names can contain the standard UNIX wild card matching
    characters `*', `?' and `[ ]'. This field will accept more than one
    entry. Leave a blank space between each unique filename for multiple
    entries.

    Skip Filenames like

    This is the opposite of Find Filenames like. The filenames entered
    here create an exclusion list. Any filename entered here will NOT be
    matched by the search. This field uses the same format as the
    previous field.

    User Owners

    Every file on the system has an owner. In most cases the owner is
    the user who created the file. Use this field to find only those
    files whose owners match the names of the users entered. To exclude
    any files owned by certain users, place a `!' before those
    usernames. This field will accept more than one entry. Leave a blank
    space between each unique owner for multiple entries.


    Group Owners

    Every file on the system belongs to a user group. Use this field to
    find only those files whose group ownership matches the user group
    names entered in this field. To exclude any files owned by certain
    user groups, place a `!' before those group names. This field will
    accept more than one entry. Leave a blank space between each unique
    group name for multiple entries.

    File modified since

    File modified before

    When a file is created, the file system stores its creation date in
    what is called an inode. This inode is updated every time the file
    is modified. You can use these fields to look for files modified
    before and/or since certain inode dates.

    These fields work similarly to the Backup catalog fields, except
    these fields define a search pattern for file inode dates rather
    than catalog modification dates. The input format for these fields
    is the same as the Backup formats described earlier. See "TIME
    FORMATS" on page C-1 for more details.

    Minimum file size

    Maximum file size

    Every file residing on the system requires space. This space is
    referred to as the file size. Any input for these fields specifies
    the minimum and/or maximum file size a file can have as part of the
    search routine. If a file is smaller than the amount entered in the
    first field, the search routine will exclude it. Conversely, if the
    file is larger than the amount entered in the second field, the
    search routine will also exclude it.

    To change the default size, enter the data in the format N unit,
    where N is the numeric size to search for and unit is one of the
    following units of measure:

    + KB = Kilobytes
    + MB = Megabytes
    + GB = Gigabytes

    Files to find

    This field shows two values. The first (and default) option is to
    find only the most recently backed up version of the requested
    files. The second option is to find all instances of the requested
    files. Use this second option with care since it can easily generate
    very long lists.

    Buttons

    Click on the Clear Fields button if you want to clear all the fields
    before defining and executing another search pattern. Once you've
    finalized your search criteria, click on the Execute Search button
    to begin the search. A list of all matching files will be displayed
    in a new window, as shown below.


    To restore any of the files in this list, enter the name of the
    backup device, highlight the desired files, and click on the Restore
    button. If the selected files where backed up on more than one
    catalog, you will be prompted to load each backup catalog as
    required.

    Schedule Backups

    You can use the Scheduled Backup Configuration window to have the
    system automatically backup selected files and partitions. This
    window is shown below.
