./dsmlabel -drive=/dev/mt0
(use the -overwrite option if the tape already contains a label)

Registering the server
----------------------

Client command line examples
----------------------------

selective /home -subdir=yes
incremental /home -subdir=yes

restore /home -subdir=yes -inactive -pick
restore /home/johnr -subdir=yes -latest

q filespace Displays filesystem that have been backed up.
q ar * Displays all achives.

archive /var -subdir=yes -des="Var archive"

backupsets
----------

On the server:-

q backupset
q volhist type=backupset

generate backupset client bkset2 devclass=exabyte desc="DR Backup"

Options :- filespace Select which filesets to backup
retension=14 (14 days retension in the db)
wait=yes Runs in foreground

delete backupset client bkset1.10248

generate backupset client bkset1 "/home,/tmp" devclass=exabyte ret=14
desc="DR Backup" wait=yes

q backupsetcontents client bkset1.12057
(needs the tape to be mounted so that the contents can be read off.)

On the client :-

q backupset /dev/mt0 -loc=tape
(Displays the backupset name, date, time and description of the
backupset
contained on the tape in /dev/mt0 on the client)
