How to Request an Archive from a Backup Client

1. UNIX client: Enter nwarchive at the command prompt to start Backup Archive.

   PC client: Start the Backup User program and select Archive.

2. Select the files you want to archive.

   PC client: Specify the options to verify, clone, groom, or compress the data.

3. Start the archive.

   Backup prompts you to enter an annotation. You must enter an annotation before Backup begins the archive.

   UNIX client: In the dialog box where Backup prompts you to enter an annotation, you can also specify options to verify, clone, groom, or compress the data.

   The archive starts immediately, if an appropriate archive volume is mounted, and continues until it finishes. If you selected a large amount of data, the archive can take a long time.
