– Oracle Rdb Storage Area - These options (which are version-number specific) specify
that you wish to back up selected storage areas of an Rdb database. In this case specify
both the database file name(s) and selected storage areas.
– UNIX Files - This option applies to saving or restoring UNIX files on a client node.
Enter a filesystem name in the format “/usr/...” to the level of granularity you want.
With this option you must specify a SOURCE_NODE, which is the name of the UNIX
node on which the online data resides.
– Windows Files - This options applies to saving or restoring Windows files on a client
node. Enter a file pathname starting with the device (for example: C:\Windows\...” to
the level of granularity you want. With this option you must specify a
SOURCE_NODE, which is the name of the Windows node on which the online data
resides.
• SOURCE NODE - This attribute applies to data types UNIX FILES and WINDOWS files
only, and specifies the name of the node on which the file data resides. For other data types,
the node is specified through the nodes and groups attributes in the request.
The following table shows examples of the appropriate file, disk, path or database names that are
