/BACKUP /NOBACKUP Specifies that the Backup utility (BACKUP) records the contents of the file. The /NOBACKUP qualifier causes BACKUP to record the attributes of the file but not its contents. This qualifier is valid only for Files-11 Structure On-Disk Level 2 and 5 files. The /NOBACKUP qualifier is useful for saving files that contain unimportant data, such as SWAPFILES.
