Getting Started - File Archiver Archive

Perform an Archive

After configuring a subclient and a storage policy, you are ready to perform your first archive.

The Unix File Archiver archives the following:

Operating System	Archived File Systems
AIX	Journal File System 2 (JFS2) IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) VERITAS File System (VxFS) VERITAS Cluster File System (VxCFS)
HP-UX	VERITAS File System (VxFS)
Linux	'X' File System (XFS) B-tree File System (Btrfs) Extended 3 File System (ext3) Extended 4 File System (ext4) IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) X9000 IBRIX File System (IBRIXFS) 6.x PolyServe Matrix Server VERITAS File System (VxFS) VERITAS Cluster File System (VxCFS) Lustre File System (Clustered File System)
Red Hat Linux 6.x	GFS2 (Clustered File System) The default Extended 2 File System (ext2) gets archived when it is compiled as a module.
Novell OES2 Linux	NSS file system
Solaris	Unix File System (UFS) VERITAS File System (VxFS) Zettabyte File System (ZFS on Solaris 10 6/06)

The following file types/objects are automatically filtered out of archive operations by the system, and will not be archived.

Sparse files (Example: File Archiver stub files)
Install directory
Job Results directory
Log files directory
/usr system directory
/kernel system directory
/etc system directory
/tmp directory

Stubs originating from the OES Linux Operating System in a Netware Operating System

The following section provides step-by-step instructions for performing your first archive:

1.	From the CommCell Console, navigate to Client Computer \| File Archiver \| defaultArchiveSet. Right-click the Subclient and click Archive.
2.	Select Immediate to run the job immediately. Click OK.
3.	You can track the progress of the job from the Job Controller or Event Viewer window of the CommCell console.
4.	Once the archiving process is completed, files that meet the stubbing rules are stubbed. Stubs are placeholders of the original data after it has been migrated to the secondary storage. Stubs replace the archived files in the location selected by the user during the archive. After stubbing, the size of the files on the disk reduces to a single block.
