The is the script (program) that gets executed
at the scheduled time.
# 
:daily_check_box
Click SELECT in this box if you would like the 
backup to occur each day of the week.
# 
:daily_time
INPUT the time that the backup is to occur on 
each selected day.

Use a 24-hour clock format.

# 
:load_script_button
Click SELECT on this button to load the specified 
Backup Script.
# 
:save_script_button
Click SELECT on this button to save the specified 
Backup Script.

The Save function may take awhile as each input 
field is checked for accuracy.  Please be patient.

After saving the file, you will be asked if you 
would like to schedule the backup job for 
automatic execution (assuming that you have chosen a daily or monthly backup).
# 
:days_of_week
Click SELECT on each day of the week that you 
would like your backup to occur.

Note: Click SELECT in the "Daily" box to select 
every day of the week.
# 
:send_mail
Click SELECT in this box if you would like the 
backup job logfile to be mailed to a particular 
user (i.e. the System Administrator).
# 
:monthly_check_box
Click SELECT in this box if you would like the 
backup to occur once a month.
# 
:monthly_date
INPUT the date that you would like your monthly
backup to occur.

You may either type in the date or use the arrow 
buttons to set the date.

Note: A date of 28 or less will ensure that the 
backup occurs each month since there is no month 
with less than 28 days.
# 
:monthly_time
INPUT the time that the backup is to occur on the
given day each month.  

Use a 24-hour clock format.

Examples:  2115   (9:15 PM)
           0830   (8:30 AM)
           1200   (12:00 Noon)
           0000   (12:00 Midnight)
# 
:mail_to
INPUT the email address of the person to which the logfile should be mailed.

Examples:   root
            root@sparky
            joe@sundown

Note: A copy of the logfile is also placed in the
file /var/spool/dumptool/dumptool.log.MMDDYY
where
    MM = Month
    DD = Day
    YY = Year
that the backup occurred.

It is up to the user to periodically remove these
files in order to reclaim disk space.
# 
:schedule_button
Click SELECT on this button to have your backup 
job scheduled for automatic execution using cron.
# 
:unschedule_button
Click SELECT on this button to have your backup 
job removed from the automatic execution schedule.  
In other words, remove the crontab entry.
# 
:dump_local
Click SELECT in this box if you would like the 
backup job logfile to be mailed to a particular 
user (i.e. the System Administrator).
# 
:remote_hostname
INPUT the hostname of the system from which you
wish to retrieve file system entries.

For example, if you would like to backup the
file systems located on machine "jupiter", you 
would input the following:

Hostname: jupiter

Then click SELECT on "Add File System" to add
jupiter's file systems to the File System List".
# 
:tape_host
INPUT the name of the machine (hostname) on which 
the tape drive is installed.  All file system
backups will be saved to this machine's tape drive.

Note: The hostname of each system whose 
file systems are being backed up must be added to 
the /.rhosts file on the Tape Host's system.

For example:
If you are backing up the file system
"sundown:/dev/sd0h /home" onto a tape drive 
located on host "sunburn", then you should add 
"sundown" to the /.rhosts file on host "sunburn".
# 
:add_filesystem_button
Click SELECT on this button to retrieve the 
file system entries for any accessible host on 
the network. 

You should first enter a valid hostname in the 
"Hostname" field.  After retrieving  the 
file systems of the specified host, dumptool will 
display them in the File System List.
# 
:tape_device
INPUT the tape drive device name.

Examples: (for Solaris 1.X systems.)
/dev/rst0  (First SCSI tape drive - rewind)
/dev/nrst1 (Second SCSI tape drive - no rewind)

Examples: (for Solaris 2.X systems.)
/dev/rmt/0 (First SCSI tape drive - rewind)
/dev/rmt/1n (Second SCSI tape drive - no rewind)

Note: Using the "rewind" device will cause the 
tape drive to rewind the tape after EACH dump.  
If you are putting multiple file systems on one 
tape MAKE SURE you specify the "no rewind" device.
# 
:remote_mount_point
If you would like to add an entry for a specific 
remote file system, INPUT the file system mount
point here.

For example, if you would like to backup the
/data1 file system located on machine "jupiter"
you would input the following:

Hostname: jupiter
Mount Point: /data1

Then click SELECT on "Add File System" to add this
file system to the File System List". 
# 
:rcmd_type
Decide wether to use rsh (remsh) or ssh (ssh1)
to contact the remote host. This can be very
useful if you decide that a .rhosts is not allowed
for user root. ssh is more secure but dosen't
come with SunOS or Linux.

# 
:filesystem_list
This is the list of all file systems, local and 
remote, that will be backed up.  By default, all 
the local file systems are listed when dumptool 
is invoked.

Note: The hostname of the local system must be 
added to the /.rhosts file of each remote system
whose file systems are included here.  Also, the 
local hostname must be added to the /.rhosts file 
on the local system.
# 
:tape_type
Use the pulldown menu to SELECT the type of tape 
drive to be used for backups.  The default size, 
density and blocking factor will be shown.

Supported Tape Drives:  
Exabyte 8200 (8mm-2.3GB-Full height)
Exabyte 8205 (8mm-5GB/compressed-Half height)
Exabyte 8500 (8mm-5GB-Full height)
Exabyte 8500c (8mm-10GB/compressed-Full height)
Exabyte 8505 (8mm-10GB/compressed-Half height)
4mm (DAT)
1/2" 1600 BPI
1/2" 6250 BPI
QIC 24
QIC 150
QIC 525
QIC 1000
QIC 1350
QIC 2100C
# 
:tape_size
INPUT the tape length (in feet).  This number is
usually not the true length of the tape.  The 
combination of Tape Size and Tape Density is
used to determine how much data will fit on one
tape.

A default size is given for the chosen tape drive 
type.  Our tests have shown this number to work 
well with the chosen tape drive.

You may change the size by typing in a new number 
or by using the arrows to set the desired number.
# 
:tape_density
INPUT the tape density (in bits per inch).  This 
number is usually not the true density of the 
tape.  The combination of Tape Density and Tape 
Size is used to determine how much data will fit 
on one tape.

A default density is given for the chosen tape 
drive type.  Our tests have shown this number to 
work well with the chosen tape drive.

You may change the density by typing in a new
number or by using the arrows to set the desired 
value.
# 
:blocking_factor
Input the tape blocking factor.  This is the 
number of 512 byte blocks that are sent to the
Tape Device during each write.

A default blocking factor is given for the chosen 
tape drive type.  Our tests have shown this number
to work well with the chosen tape drive.

You may change the blocking factor by typing in a 
new number or by using the arrows to set the
desired value.
# 
:dump_level
INPUT the "dump level" for this backup job.
 
All files in the file system that have been 
modified since the last dump at a lower dump level
are backed up.  For instance, if you  did  a 
"level 2" dump on Monday, followed by a "level 4"
dump on Tuesday, a subsequent "level 3" dump on
Wednesday would  contain  all  files  modified or 
added since the "level 2" (Monday) backup.  A 
"level 0" dump copies the entire file system to 
the Tape Drive. 

You may either type in the dump level or use the
arrow buttons to set the correct value.
# 
:update_dumpdates
Click SELECT in this box to add an entry to the
/etc/dumpdates file for each file system 
successfully backed up.  This entry includes the 
file system name, date, and dump level.


# 
:unload_tape
Click SELECT on this box to make the tape go 
offline at the end of the backup job.

Different tape drives react differently to the 
offline command.  The 8mm and 4mm drives will 
rewind and eject the tape.  The 1/2" drives will 
rewind and unload the tape.  The QIC drives will  
be placed in a state such that the tape cannot be 
accessed.
# 
:delete_filesystem
Click SELECT on this button to delete one or more 
entries from the File System List.

You must first SELECT one or more file systems in 
the File System List.
