-a |
All. Backs up all NIS+ directory objects that the server is master of. This includes any sub-domain directory objects that this server is the master for. Note that directory objects of subdomains that have their own master servers will not be backed up. |
The nisbackup command must be run on the master server for the NIS+ directory objects you are backing up.
When specifying NIS+ directory objects to be backed up, you can use full or partially qualified directory names.
When you back up multi-level directories, the backup files for lower level directories are automatically placed in subdirectories of the target backup directory.
