In addition to a graphical user interface (GUI), NetWorker has UNIX style commands. These commands are entered from a UNIX shell to back up and recover data. You must have access to a NetWorker server and your system must be configured as a NetWorker client in order to use these commands.
Both the save and recover commands can be run with arguments from the command line. Refer to the save(1M) and recover(1M) reference pages for more information about saving and recovering data from the command line.
Enter the save command at the system prompt to back up data:
# save -s server pathname
Enter the recover command at the system prompt to recover data:
# recover -s server -c client pathname
The recover program provides an interface that allows you to browse files and control recovers. When you enter the recover command, the NetWorker prompt appears.
Table B-1 shows recover program commands to enter at the NetWorker prompt.
