This can be done with any of the
GUIs.
If using the Java or NT GUI, select
the 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. 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
backup 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 backing up 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 backup. Select Backup | Backup Selected
Files and Directories. Verify the files and directories
you are going to backup. Select a phrase or mnemonic that will identify
the backup when you wish to find it later. Select a location for writing
the progress log. Select OK, and the backup will be initiated. You may
check progress of the log file by using tail
~Vf or by using the GUI.
