Im use AIX for Operation System,

I try you console,

./SAPCAR -backup SAP.SAR

SAPCAR: option -backup not supported on non-Windows platforms (option ignored)

SAPCAR: please specify a command (one of -c, -x, -t, -d, -a, -m, -l) (error 21).

I need backup:\

SAPCAR <create file name> <backup here>

what the script master?

Hi,

You need to use SAPCAR -backup <Backup file name>

Please see the list of SAPCAR options  available.

-a            : append files to an archive

-A FILE       : get names to include from file FILE

-backup       : run in backup mode: include ACL data

                (supported by UNICODE SAPCar on Windows platforms only)

-C DIR        : change to directory DIR

-crl FILE     : use FILE as CRL for a revocation check

-e            : redirect output from stdout to file sapcar_output

-f FILE       : use archive file FILE (default DEFAULT.SAR)

-flat         : don't preserve file path when extracting files

-g            : ignore case of of archive names while extracting,

                testing or listing archives

-h            : do not change permissions of existing directories

                during extraction

-H ALGORITHM  : use ALGORITHM for file hash calculation

                (default: SHA256)

-i            : ignore inaccessible files while creating an archive

-j            : forcibly extracts files (includes option -h) by first deleting

                then creating existing files with current user as owner

-key FILE     : use FILE for signature operations (default: SAP)

-l            : check availabilty of files to be processed

-L FILE       : use security library FILE for signature operations

                (default: libsapcrypto.so)

-lower        : convert filenames to lowercase while extracting

-m            : merge two archives

-M            : verify external manifest file

-manifest FILE: external manifest FILE

-n            : print statistical information

-p octalvalue : set permissions of all files in archive to value

-P            : use absolute path-names (use carefully)

-pwd PASSWORD : Password of PSE (default: no password)

-r            : do not resolve symbolic links/shortcuts while creating

                an archive

-R dir        : use dir instead of current directory

-S            : create a digital signature of an archive

-s            : do free space check

-T FILE       : rename files to be included in FILE

-v            : verbosely list files processed

-X FILE       : get names to exclude from FILE

-V            : activate signature verification in existing

                commands -a, -c, -d, -t and -x.

-y ALGORITHM  : signature hash algorithm (default: SHA256)

Please check and provide your feedback.
