CREATE Record

OPTIONAL

Use the CREATE record to let an authorized client create an abstract domain on the backup tape. An abstract domain is a domain that the client defines; the name of an abstract domain does not necessarily reflect an actual minidisk, directory, or file space. The CREATE record tells CA VM:Backup to assign an arbitrary name to a collection of files backed up from a single source directory. The client assigns a name that is more convenient for its purposes.

A file can include multiple CREATE records.

The client must specify an EXCEPT ABSTRACT and a FROM record in the exception file for each CREATE record to describe from which directory CA VM:Backup should obtain data to include in the abstract domain.

Note: This record is available only through TPI and can only be specified by an authorized client.
