Bundle Database
Creates a tar file of an existing database.
Bundling a database entails grouping together in the tar file all the subdirectories and files which currently exist below the selected database. Your template-based product writes the resulting tar file to the default writable database under the name database_name.tar. This functionality is useful when you want a snapshot state of a database, or if you want to transfer the database files to an external file system.
| For the option: | Do the following: |
|
Database Name |
Select the name of a database currently in the search list. The menu reflects the current status of the internal database, and is updated when you add or remove databases. |
| compress | Select if you want to also compress the resulting tar file; otherwise the tar file remains in its default state. When you select compress, the name of the tar file becomes database_name.tar.Z. |
| uuencode | Select to uuencode the tar file. The resulting name of the tar file will be either database_name.tar.uu or database_name.tar.Z.uu, depending on whether you also compressed the file. |
| Database Info | Select to display a list of the search directories, including their search level, database name, and database path. |
