Using Avtar Command To Backup Specific Folder on Client
I am testing the ability to use the "avtar" command to backup a specific folder from a specific Windows client and am having some problems getting the syntax correct. Here's what I have so far (I've run from the command prompt on the client as well as from the utility node itself):
avtar -c --label="client_name_test" --path=/clients/ --retention-type=daily c:/Programs
When I run the command I get the message that the source path "C:/Programs" does not exist. I've also tried C:\Programs, "C:\Programs", "C:/Programs" and /Programs but nothing has worked so far.
Anyone have a good example of how to backup a specific folder on a Windows client using avtar?
Thanks.
Hello Snowmizer,
You can use the below cmd to take a bakup of particular folder backup in EMC Avamar.
avtar --create --id=**** --ap=***** --path=/domain/clientname < Directory path which you want to be backup> --label="label_name"
Here --id=user id
--ap=password for that user id

So basically
avtar --create --id=**** --ap=**** --path=/domain/clientname c:/testfolder
I'll give that a try.
Thanks.

C:\Programs is a folder specific to this machine that was created manually.

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.
