HP StorageWorks File System Extender Software V3.4 CLI reference (T3648-96013, October 2006)

2.2 NAME 19
2.2.3 OPTIONS
• –f, – –file
Perform FSE backup and copy the backup image to disk or both backup
destinations: disk and tape. With disk destination, location and filename of
the backup image file are defined by the argument BackupFileName. With
tape destination, the backup image is written to a medium that belongs to
the backup FSE media pool:
– if the – –medium option is not specified, the backup image is written
to the first available medium;
– if the – –medium option is specified, the backup image is written to
the medium with barcode Barcode.
If this medium already contains backup images from previous FSE backup
sessions, the new backup image is appended to the existing backup image
set. If – –file and BackupFileName are omitted from the fsebackup invoca-
tion, the backup image is copied to tape only.
IMPORTANT: If both backup destinations are selected (the – –file option
is specified without the additional – –nomedia option), and the backup im-
age cannot be copied to tape for some reason (FSE media pool is not con-
figured, all backup FSE media are full, the backup FSE medium specified
by the options – –media Barcode is full), the backup session as a whole
will fail. However, the actual backup process will partially succeed and the
backup image will be copied to disk. In the opposite case, when the backup
image cannot be copied to disk for some reason, the backup process will
fail completely and the backup image will neither be copied to tape.
• BackupFileName
Name of the file in which FSE backup image will be stored. The name can
contain absolute or relative path. On Windows systems, paths to shares in
the UNC format are also supported. If the character "." (a dot) is specified at
the end of BackupFileName, the filename is automatically constructed from
name of the host on which fsebackup is run and the current timestamp.
The following template is used for automatic generation: <HostName>–
<YYYY><MM><DD>–<hh><mm><ss>.tar.bz2. The .tar.bz2 exten-
sion is also appended to the filename if the specified filename does not al-
ready include it.
