Fbclientname

Use the fbclientname option with the backup fastback or archive fastback commands.

The fbclientname option is the name of one or more comma-separated FastBack clients to back up or archive from the backup proxy. The values for the fbclientname option are invalid if more than one policy is specified in the fbpolicyname option.

You cannot include spaces in the fbclientname option values.

If you do not specify any values for the fbvolumename option, all the volumes from all the FastBack clients in the policy that is specified are backed up. If you specify multiple FastBack clients in the fbclientname option, you cannot specify values for the fbvolumename option.
