DESCRIPTION
The
sav
utility is used by
mkuser
(for example)
to make a backup copy of one or more files.
Without options, the backup file will be named
file.$TODAY
and stored in the same directory as the original. With a
-d
or
-D subdir
option, the backup file will be stored in a subdirectory.
Saves of files located in special operating system
configuration or state directories are always done into a
.$TODAY/
directory to ensure proper system functionality. See section
FILES
for a complete list of those directories.
