       default	is  to	write  the log file to the savedir.  Do not save each volume's storage bitmap (SBM) to the savedir.  If this option is not
       specified, the default is to write each volume's SBM to the savedir.  Do not save the domain's root tag	file  to  the  savedir.   If  this
       option  is  not	specified, the default is to write the root tag file to the savedir.  Do not save the fileset tag files to the savedir. If
       this option is not specified, the default is to write the fileset tag files to the savedir.

OPERANDS

       The name of the AdvFS file domain from which you want to obtain the metadata.  The name of a directory into which the saved metadata is	to
       be written.

DESCRIPTION

       This script saves a snapshot of the specified domain metadata into a directory, savedir, that has the following structure:

	     savedir/volume_directory/RBMT_file
				    /BMT_file
				    /SBM_file
		  /log_file
		  /tag_file
		  /fileset_directory/frag_file
				    /tag_file

       By  default, the savemeta command saves all the bitfile metadata (BMT), all the SBM, the log and root tag files, and the fileset tag files.
       If you specify the -f option, the command saves the frag file information for each fileset.
