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.

CATMAN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 CATMAN(8)

NAME

     catman -- format cat pages from man pages

SYNOPSIS

     catman [-knpsw] [-m directory] [sections]
     catman [-knpsw] [-M directory] [sections]

DESCRIPTION

     catman creates formatted versions of the on-line manual pages from their nroff(1) source.	Manual pages whose formatted versions are missing
     or out of date are regenerated.  If manual pages are regenerated, catman also regenerates the whatis database.

     The optional sections argument is one word, and contains the section numbers of all the sections to be checked.  For example, if sections is
     ``13f8'', the manual pages in sections 1, 3f, and 8 will be checked and regenerated.  If no sections argument is provided, catman will try to
     operate on all of the known manual sections.

     The options are as follows:

     -k      Ignore errors from nroff when building manpages.

     -n      Do not create the whatis database.

     -p      Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not actually execute them.

     -s      Perform work silently; do not echo commands as they are executed.	This flag is ignored if -p is specified.

     -w      Only create the whatis database.

     -m directory
	     Add directory to the set of directories to be updated.

     -M directory
	     Update manual pages in directory.
