       nnwwbbaacckkuupp is an X Window System application.  It is a front
       end to ssaavvee(8) and used  to  save  files  to  a  NetWorker
       server  on  an  ad  hoc  basis.  Normally, files are saved
       automatically.

       The server's name may be  specified  with  the  --ss  _s_e_r_v_e_r
       argument.   When no server is specified, nnwwbbaacckkuupp uses the
       server selection rules found  in  nnssrr(8).   When  multiple
       NetWorker  servers  are  accessible,  they may be selected
       from within the nnwwbbaacckkuupp command.  If _p_a_t_h  is  specified,
       nnwwbbaacckkuupp  will set initialize the current selection to the
       given path.  The default selection if _p_a_t_h is  not  speci-
       fied is the current working directory.

       NetWorker supports both scheduled network-wide backups and
       manual backups of client system files and directories.  To
       request an immediate manual backup, run nnwwbbaacckkuupp

       Check  that  the correct NetWorker server is selected. The
       Server is identified in the Main window.  You  can  change
       servers using the Change Server command if necessary. This
       is the Server to which the client files will be backed up.
       The  hostname  of  the  current client is displayed in the
       Client field. The pathname of  the  current  directory  is
       displayed in the Selection field.

       Change  directories  by  entering the full pathname in the
       Selection field or by highlighting the icon in the  Backup
       window.

       To  perform  a  manual  backup,  first  mark the files and
       directories that you want to back up  by  selecting  their
       checkboxes. Then select Start backup... from the File menu
       of the Backup window. You must select whether to  compress
       files or exclude patterns in the Backup Options dialog box
       to continue the backup.

       Monitor the progress of the backup in  the  Backup  Status
       window.   Check  to see that a backup volume is mounted in
       the Pending display of the Main window.

       A complete explanation of  the  nwbackup  command  may  be
       found in the NetWorker User's Guide.
