HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.0-00 Application Agent CLI Reference Guide

Take the command retry period into consideration when you execute more than one drmmediabackup
command concurrently. For details about the settings, see notes on command execution in the HP
P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide.
Arguments
backup-ID
Specify the backup ID for the secondary volume that contains the backup data to be copied to a tape
device. A backup ID uniquely identifies backup data and is registered in the backup catalog during
backup.
To check backup IDs, execute one of the following commands according to what was backed up:
• When the backup is of a file system, use the drmfscat command.
• When the backup is of an SQL Server database, use the drmsqlcat command.
• When the backup is of an Exchange database, use the drmexgcat command.
When using the drmmediabackup command, make sure that you specify the backup ID for use with
the drmmount command and perform the mount beforehand. If you use the drmmount command to
mount with a copy group name specified, you cannot use the drmmediabackup command.
-raw
Specify this option to back up the secondary volume as a raw device. This backs up data per logical
volume.
You can specify this option only for NetBackup.
-bkdir backup-file-directory
If this option is omitted, the backup will be performed for the directory registered in the backup catalog
at the time the command is executed.
The conditions for specifying a backup file directory name are as follows:
Maximum number of characters: 255 bytes
Characters: Characters that can be used for directory names in Windows. Enclose in double quotation
marks (") any backup file directory names containing space characters.
You cannot specify a drive as a backup file directory name, nor can you specify a backslash (\) as
the last character of a backup file directory name.
Specify this option when the data on the secondary volume that is to be backed up to a tape device
is backed up with directories. A backup with directories indicates that backup operations have been
performed with one of the following options specified:
• When the backup is of an SQL Server database: the drmsqlbackup command was executed
with an option other than the -template option.
For details on the option, see “drmsqlbackup (Backs up an SQL Server database to a secondary
volume)” on page 145.
Do not specify the length of the backup file directory with a length that exceeds the maximum backup
path length that the backup software (such as NetBackup or Backup Exec) in use can accept.
-bup_env configuration-definition-file-name
Specify this option to specify a start parameter for the user-defined configuration definition file, when
volumes are either backed up to a tape device or restored from a tape device.
If you omit this option, the default configuration definition file is used. So, you need to create the
default configuration definition file in advance.
