Backup SQL-BackTrack DB Menu The Backup SQL-BackTrack DB menu is used to search the filesystem for SQL-BackTrack scripts to use for backups, to select SQL-BackTrack scripts, and to initiate SQL-BackTrack's backup/restore utility using the selected scripts. The top of the screen contains the following: Search Path The current directory, where search operations will begin. Start Date End Date The beginning and end dates used in the search, which specify the range in which a file's modification date must be in order to be included in the search for files to back up. NetBackup will search for files that were made between and including these dates. When you start the menu interface, the Start Date is set to 01/01/70 00:00:00 for backups and archives and the End Date is set to 23:59:59 of the current day. Master Server The name of the NetBackup server that will process your backup request. Display Mode The format used in the display. Brief shows only file names, Verbose shows file names and attributes. Scripts Selected The number of scripts currently selected. Keyword Phrase A word or phrase used to identify the backup. When you restore files, you can search for files to restore by keyword phrase. Menu options: s) Select Scripts...
