Caldera BACKUP.UNET Command Reference Guide
Previous Chapter : Next Chapter : Top
The BACKUP.UNET Command Reference Guide provides reference information about using the BACKUP.UNET commands. This guide provides an explanation of each command and its associated options, and provides examples where applicable. An experienced BACKUP.UNET user may opt to use these commands in place of the GUI. In most cases, a single command (for example nbkup) issued with varying options, can accomplish the equivalent function of an entire submenu of options.
