Table 12-3: Supported NDMP Environment Variables
Variable Name Description Default
TYPE Specifies the type of backup/restore application. The valid values are
“dump” and “tar.” For “dump” type backup, the NDMP Server will generate
inode-based file history. For “tar” type backup, the NDMP Server will
generate file based file history. Values are case sensitive. dump
FILESYSTEM Specifies the path to be used for backup. The path must be a directory. Not
applicable
LEVEL Specifies the dump level for the backup operation. Valid values are 0 to 9. 0
HIST Specifies how file history is to be generated. The supported values are “d”,
“f”, “y”, and “n.” The value “d” specifies that node/dir format file history will
be generated. The value “f” specifies that file based file history will be
generated. The value “y” specifies that the default file history type (which is
the node/dir format) will be generated. The value “n” means that no file
history will be generated
Y
DIRECT Specifies whether the restore is a Direct Access Retrieval. Valid values are
“Y” and “N.”
Y
UPDATE Specifies whether the dump level and dump time for a backup operation
should be updated on the NDMP Server so subsequent backups can
reference the dump level from previous backups. Valid values are “Y” and
“N.”
Y
EXCLUDE Specifies a pattern for matching files that are not to be backed up. The
environment variable is a list of strings separated by comma. Each entry
will be used to match to nodes encountered during backup. The string can
contain an asterisk (*) as the wild card character. At most, 32 comma-
separated strings are supported. Entries containing “,” should be escaped
with the “\” character. Entries containing the “\” character should also be
escaped with the “\” character.
No default
RECURSIVE Specifies whether the restore should be recursive or not. Valid values are
“Y” and “N.” If this variable is set to “N”, only the files that are the immediate
children of the restore target are restored.
Y
RESTORE_OVERWRITE Specifies whether the restore operation should overwrite existing files with
the backup data. Valid values are “Y” and “N”.
