User-defined configuration definition file
When you execute the drmmediabackup command or the drmmediarestore command with the
-bup_env option (that is, when specifying a specific configuration definition file for each command),
make sure that you create the corresponding configuration definition file in advance.
When you execute the drmmediabackup or drmmediarestore command without the -bup_env
option, do not delete the default configuration definition file. This is because the parameters in the
default configuration definition file will be used to start up the tape backup management software.
When specifying a user-define name for the configuration definition file, the following requirements
must be fulfilled:
• Maximum number of characters: 255 bytes including the directory name
• Usable characters: Characters valid for file names in Windows
• File location: Application-Agent-installation-destination\conf\tape\

Creating a list file
Certain options of extended or basic commands may require you to specify multiple files, databases,
copy groups, or other entities. In these situations, you can assign the option a definition file in which
you have defined processing targets. Use of list files is optional; however, they eliminate the need to
repeat the same operations.
This section explains how to create the following list files:
• Copy-group list file
• Database list file or mount point directory list file
• Transaction log list file
Creating a copy-group list file
A copy-group list file is a text file containing a list of copy groups.
The following explains the format of copy-group list files.
