• The following command will list backups, contained in the archive /usr/backups/backups.tib, with their pit numbers. This command is designed to obtain pit numbers for consolidation:

  The list will look like the following:

  Pit number: 1
  type: file; kind: base; date: 10/18/07 2:45:02 PM
  Pit number: 2
  type: file; kind: incremental; date: 10/18/07 2:47:38 PM

  –target_vault:smb://server/exported –target_arc:archive2 \
  –net_user:username –net_password:password

• The following command will export the “archive1″ archive from the network share to the “exported” folder:
