3.4.12 - Backup Quasar Files

Action Option -AQ (-ArchiveQuasarFile) (Aliases: -ArchiveQuasar, -ArchiveBackupFile, -ArchiveBackup) :

(Alias: -ArchiveQuasar|-ArchiveBackupFile|-ArchiveBackup), packages archived Saved and/or Web files into a single tar file and uploads it to the Globus Quasar Server for long-term backup, recording the result in GDEXDB. In practice, the companion utility ‘dsquasar’ handles identifying files to back up, building optimally sized input lists (1-3 GB each), and calling this action. See ‘dsquasar’ help for details.
