To create and mount backup filesets, do the following:
1. Verify that you have the necessary privileges. You must be included in the admin.ft file on each machine on which a backup fileset is to reside, and you must be included in the admin.fl file on each Fileset Database machine or own the server entry for each machine on which a version of a fileset to be backed up resides. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to verify the members on an administrative list.
2. Verify that you have the w (write), x (execute), and i (insert) ACL permissions for each directory in which a backup fileset is to be mounted. If necessary, issue the dcecp acl show command to check the permissions for the directories.
3. Issue the fts clone command to create a single backup version of a read/write source fileset. The backup version is placed at the same site as the read/write source, with the same name as the source fileset but with the addition of a .backup extension.
$ fts clone -fileset {name | ID}
Issue the fts clonesys command to create a backup version of every read/write fileset that shares the same prefix or site. Each backup version is placed at the same site as its read/write source, with the same name, and with a .backup extension.
$ fts clonesys [-prefix string] [-server machine] [-aggregate name]
The -prefix string option is the initial string in the name of each read/write fileset that you want to back up.
4. Enter the fts crmount command to create a mount point for each backup fileset. The contents of filesets are inaccessible until you perform this operation.
$ fts crmount -dir directory_name -fileset name.backup
The -dir directory_name option is the location for the root directory of the backup fileset; the specified location must not already exist. However, the parent directory of the mount point must exist in the DCE namespace. Include a complete path name unless you want to mount the fileset in the working directory.
The -fileset name.backup option is the full name of the backup fileset, with the .backup extension.
Repeat the fts crmount command for each backup fileset created in the previous step. Note that you do not need to create a mount point for a backup fileset; for example, the DFS Backup System does not require a mount point to locate a backup fileset.
