[Networker] How to save multiple paths?

How can I run the save command and tell it to save multiple paths andhave NetWorker list the full paths separately in the save set recoverwindow or mminfo command?

Instead, NetWorker seems to insist on recording only the part of thepath that is common to all the paths. I tried this command on the client:


save -s server -b pool -l level /home/dir/file1.txt /home/dir/file2.txt

When I check save set recover, I only see /home/dir/ listed, not eachpath. I tried listing them in an input file and then re-ran it with '-I'option, but that does the same thing. Seems that as soon as 2 or morepaths are listed, NetWorker insists on wrapping it all together underthe parent directory (in this case /home/dir/) or whatever is common toall of them. I tried this, too:


save -s server -B -n -b pool -l level -I /tmp/input_file

It indicates that, again, the pathname will be /home/dir/

It works if I use the GUI. Why not on the command line? Am I going tohave to write a script that forks multiple instances of itself to saveeach path? Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I wanna be able tologin to the client, cd to the directory, and run a script that willdetermine which files have not been backed up and then it will back themup, say 4 at a time (client parallelism) so that each path is listedseparately when I look at mminfo or saveset recover. Otherwise, it'shard to keep track of what was backed up when if just wraps all thefiles up into one saveset name. These are special gzipped database dumpfiles that are created a few times a month, and I need to be able toidentify them separately by name. I would prefer not to have NetWorkerback up each one, one at a time, since that takes longer, and it's moreshoe shining on the drives, but other than launching multiple saves,that seems to be the only way?


Any help would be appreciated.
