Confirming an XBP Backup, Archive, or Restore The xbp_confirm dialog appears when you initiate a backup, archive, or restore operation. xbp builds the list of selections while you navigate the directory tree, so the list of items in the confirmation dialog may be larger than the files displayed on the main window. You cannot change the list; you can only continue with the operation or cancel it. To cancel and return to the main window without performing a NetBackup operation, click Cancel. The cancel does not affect your selections. After canceling, you can either edit your selections or clear them by clicking Discard selections for previous directories on the Edit menu. The options available depend on whether the operation is a backup/archive or a restore. Keyword phrase to associate with this backup Backup only. If you are backing up files or directories, you can specify a keyword phrase to associate with the backup. The keyword phrase is a textual description of the backup that is a maximum of 128 characters in length. All printable characters are permitted including space (" ") and period ("."). You must enclose the phrase in double quotes ("...") or single quotes ( `...') to avoid conflict with the UNIX shell. The default keyword phrase is the null (empty) string. Use log file The Use log file checkbox lets you select whether you want NetBackup to create a progress log file in your home directory and write to this file as the operation progresses. The name of the log file appears in the Log Filename box. Log Filename When the Use log file checkbox is selected, the default log file name appears in the Log Filename box. You can enter a different log file name. Overwrite existing files Restore only. Select Overwrite Existing Files to overwrite existing files with the restored files, providing file permissions allow it. Clear the Overwrite existing files checkbox if you do not want to overwrite existing files; the restore will not occur if the file exists. Redirected restore Restore only. If you previously changed the destination path, the Redirected restore checkbox is active and lets you restore files into a directory other than the one from which they were backed up. If you did not change the destination path, the checkbox is unavailable. Select the Redirected restore checkbox to restore the files to the alternate directory. Clear the Redirected restore checkbox to cancel the redirected restore to a different path. Only system administrators can redirect a restore. Restore directories without crossing mount points Restore only. To limit the restore to the local file system on the client, select the Restore directories without crossing mount points checkbox. This option is selected by default). Note Mount points inside backup images will get restored whether or not the Restore directories without crossing mount points box is selected.
