After putting /opt/omni/lib/man in MANPATH, man omni<whatever> should work fine.

Thanks for your reply Peasant.

The "omnisap.exe" utility or plugin is present on my system. "omnidatalist" and "omnibarlist" are config files, backup specification files. If you define a backup from your gui, these fiiles are generated and stored as ascii files on your disk.

As so often, the gui doesn't allow you to specify all possible options. To use DataProtector to its full extent you can accomplish more by creating the backup specifications manually e.g. using "vi".

The man pages for "omnidatalist" and "omnibarlist" ate supposed to specify the full syntax for these files.

I know the location of the man pages, however these man pages are not present.

I took the full software bundle of DP apart (unpacked all archives), however cannot find those man pages anywhere. Neither in parts for different OS versions like Solaris.

However, in e.g the man page of "omnib" there is a refence to these man pages.

I suspect they were only present in older version of the software, or they are part of an extra buncle I'm not aware of.

Similar applies for the man page of "omnisap.exe". The binary itself doesn't have a help option, neither does using the "strings" command on the binary provide me any info.

The backup environment I'm dealing with was setup by someone else years ago. The backup specification files show options which cannot be specified in the gui.

Most are clear to me, but there are few of which I would like to know more specifics. Actually I would like to know all possible options.

Anyway, thanks again for your reply.

Thanks for your reply as well ctsgnb.

I went thru all of the guides, especially those for the plugins. However none of these manuals provide the necessary information. At best they mention the existance of the binary and the existance of backup definition files.

No detailed syntax is available.

I managed to find a man page for "omnidatalist" in the google cache. But besides that no info at all.

dh_installmanpages

DH_INSTALLMANPAGES(1)                                                Debhelper                                               DH_INSTALLMANPAGES(1)

NAME

       dh_installmanpages - old-style man page installer (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installmanpages [debhelperoptions] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is responsible for automatically installing man pages into usr/share/man/ in package build
       directories.

       This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the rest of debhelper. It is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
       dh_installman(1) instead.

       dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all subdirectories for filenames that look like man pages. (Note that only real files
       are looked at; symlinks are ignored.) It uses file(1) to verify that the files are in the correct format. Then, based on the files'
       extensions, it installs them into the correct man directory.

       All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by dh_installmanpages.  This is useful if by default it installs some man pages that
       you do not want to be installed.

       After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages will check to see if any of the man pages are .so links. If so, it changes them to
       symlinks.

OPTIONS

       file ...
           Do not install these files as man pages, even if they look like valid man pages.

BUGS

       dh_installmanpages will install the man pages it finds into all packages you tell it to act on, since it can't tell what package the man
       pages belong in. This is almost never what you really want (use -p to work around this, or use the much better dh_installman(1) program
       instead).

       Files ending in .man will be ignored.

       Files specified as parameters that contain spaces in their filenames will not be processed properly.
