Monitor

The monitor option specifies whether to monitor an image backup or restore of file systems belonging to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) file server.

If you specify monitor=yes, the backup-archive client monitors the current NAS image backup or restore operation and displays processing information on your screen. This is the default.

If you specify monitor=no, the client does not monitor the current NAS image backup or restore operation and is available to process the next command.

Use this option with the backup nas or restore nas commands.
