Client Agent control files

The Client Agent control files provide a means for limiting which directories, file systems or file system types will be excluded from backup operations on a particular workstation.

The Directory Control file, uag.cntl, and the File System Control file, fs.cntl, exist for each UNIX workstation running a Client Agent. Both files are stored on the Client Agent workstation in the $UAG_HOME directory.

Directory Control file

The Directory Control file, uag.cntl, should list all directories and/or file systems on that workstation to exclude from backup operations. The syntax for specifying directories and file systems within this file are a one-line, complete path name, beginning with a slash (/). For example:

File System Control file

The File System Control file, fs.cntl, lists the file system types on that workstation to exclude from backup operations. Excluding a particular file system type is accomplished by listing the file system type on its own line.

Only the System Administrator can edit Client Agent control files. However, other users may be able to append the files, depending on the file access rights the System Administrator has assigned to the file.

Browser configuration file

The Browser Configuration file, asbr.cfg, enables raw devices to be viewed within the browser once the absolute name of the raw device is entered on its own line within the asbr.cfg file.
