This can be done with any of the
GUIs.
If using the Java or NT GUIs, select
Backup
and Restore GUI and click on the Backup
Files tab. Verify/set your server.
In the left browse window, expand the directory tree until you get to the
directory that you want to backup (or the directory that contains the file(s)
you want to backup). Click on the small dot next to the directory
to backup the whole directory. If you wish to backup certain files
within the directory, click on the directory name in the left window then
select the small dot next to the file(s) you want to backup in the right
browse window. When all files have been selected, click Backup
in
the lower-right corner. Select the Archive
files box. If you desire to have a keyword
phrase, type it into the window that pops up, then click Start
Backup. You may check progress of
the archive by clicking on the Task Progress tab.
If using the xbp GUI, go to
File
| Configuration and verify/set your server and
client. Go to File | Browse file system
(backup or archive). Set the "Directory to Search"
to be the base directory of what you are interested in archiving to media.
Set an appropriate "Directory Depth" so that you can see the directory
tree you are interested in. Select the files and directories that you want
to archive. Select Backup | Archive Selected
Files and Directories. Verify the files and directories
you are going to archive. Select a phrase or mnemonic that will identify
the archive if you wish to find it later. Select a location for writing
the progress log. Select OK, and the archive will be initiated. You may
check progress of the log file by using "tail
~Vf" or by using the GUI.
Your archived files will be deleted
from disk after they are written to media.
