Creates a new (empty) fileset family in the Backup Database
Synopsis
bak addftfamily -family fileset_family_name [-help]
Options
-family fileset_family_name
Names the new fileset family. The fileset family name must be unique within the Backup Database of the local cell. It can be no longer
than 31 characters, and it can include any characters. (To avoid confusion when dump set names are created, the name should not include a period. When a dump set is transferred to tape, the fileset
family name and the last component of the dump level name are joined by a period to form the name of the dump set.)
Regular expression characters used in the name of the fileset family must be escaped with a \ (backslash) to prevent the command shell from expanding them when working in noninteractive mode; for example, usr\* for a fileset family named usr*. Because they have no meaning in the name of a fileset family, regular expression characters are not recommended.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored.
Description
The bak addftfamily command creates a new fileset family in the Backup Database, assigning it the name specified with the -family option. To make
it easier to track its contents, the fileset family name should give some indication of the filesets it contains (for example, user for the fileset family that includes all user filesets in
the file system).
Do not include periods in the fileset family name. The names of tapes that contain dump sets of this fileset family consist of the fileset family name and the final component of the dump level name joined by a period.
After issuing this command, enter the bak addftentry command to define the fileset entries included in the fileset family. Use the bak lsftfamilies command to list the fileset families currently defined in the Backup Database. Use the bak rmftfamily command to remove a currently defined fileset family from the Backup Database.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the admin.bak files on all Backup Database machines.
Examples
The following command creates a fileset family called sys:
$ bak addftf sys
