System configuration
The example is based on the system configuration shown in the figure below.
Figure 87 System configuration for backup of an SQL Server database to tape
Processing flow
In this example, the processing flow of the drmsqlbackup command that specifies a user script is
as follows:
• The cache of the secondary volume is cleared (this is a step in the user pre-processing section).
• An online backup of SQL Server's DEFAULT instance is performed.
• Once the backup from the primary volume to the secondary volume has been completed, the
backup catalog is transferred to the backup server.
• On the backup server, the secondary volume is mounted on the G drive.
• The secondary volume is backed up to tape by using NTBACKUP, and then is unmounted (this is
a step in the user post-processing section).
The drmsqlbackup command terminates without waiting for the tape backup operation to terminate.
