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.
