backup Subcommand

ssadm backup writes a Screen backup file to standard output.

Usage:

ssadm backup [-v] > file

The backup file contains the complete configuration of SKIP, plus all currently defined common objects, policies, and, if the -v option is specified, all of the saved versions of the policies.

The backup file can be restored at a later time using the ssadm restore command.

SECURITY WARNING. The file created by ssadm backup contains sensitive information (SKIP secret keys) that must be stored and disposed of appropriately to protect the integrity of the Screen.
