DESCRIPTION
     The backup-domain command backs up  files  under  the  named
     domain. This command is supported in local mode only.

OPTIONS
     --domaindir                 This option specifies the parent
                                 directory  of  the  domain  upon
                                 which the command will  operate.
                                 The          default          is
                                 install_dir/domains.

     --description               A description  can  contain  any
                                 string to help identify the par-
                                 ticular backup. The  description
                                 is  displayed  as  part  of  the
                                 information for any backup.

     -e --echo                   Setting to true  will  echo  the
                                 command  line  statement  on the
                                 standard  output.   Default   is
                                 false.

     -t --terse                  Indicates that any  output  data
                                 must  be very concise, typically
                                 avoiding   human-friendly   sen-
                                 tences    and   favoring   well-
                                 formatted data  for  consumption
                                 by a script. Default is false.

     -v --verbose                Indicates that  output  data  is
                                 displayed with detailed informa-
                                 tion. Default is false.

OPERANDS
     domain_name                 This is the name of  the  domain
                                 to  be  backed up. If the domain
                                 is not specified  and  only  one
                                 domain  exists,  it will be used
