Use "savegrp" command if you want to run your backup manually.
Correct syntax is:
savegrp [-c <host>] -g <group_name>
Regarding this, just to clarify what I meant earlier. If I use this
I can't "backup specific", right? From the GUI I can "backup
specific". But maybe this ain't possible from the command line and
that I'm walking in the territory of "archiving" here?
Referring to the above, and your previous post where you gave the
syntax you were using, you can only use an expiration date of
"forever" if you have the archive license.
If you want to keep backups pseudo-indefinitely without the license,
set an expiration date of early 2038, and a reminder to periodically
check new releases of NetWorker to see when EMC enables support for
expiration dates past 2038.
E.g.,
save -e "01/01/2038"

Yes, of course. You can use one of the interactive recovery tools
(recover, from the command line, winworkr from Windows or nwrecover
from Unix) to browse and select individual files to recover. NetWorker
offers IMO the best recovery view in that it presents to you each time
the filesystem view "as it was" at the time of the backup. Changing
the browse time allows you to see previous "views" of the filesystem
as of each backup point. You can also if you want instruct NetWorker
to recover entire savesets, or you can use it to recover just from a
single saveset but name the file/path that you want recovered. It's
really quite flexible. If you're working on Unix, check out the man
page for "recover", otherwise look at the command reference guide for
the same tool for a comprehensive view of what you can do.
Cheers,
Preston.
