To check that backup information bearing the date on which the file system had been backed
up from the secondary volume to tape is available, execute the drmtapecat command on the
backup server.
Backup using VSS
The following explains an example of using VSS to back up a file system to tape. When VSS is used,
backup is performed with the disk drive mounted. In this example, using VSS we back up the file
server FSServer to a secondary volume. Then we back it up from a secondary volume to tape, using
the E: drive for the mount point. Operation_A is used as the operation ID.
To make a backup by using VSS, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup
server.
To use VSS to back up a file system:
1. Back up the file system to the secondary volume.
Use VSS to back up the file system to the secondary volume. To do this, execute
EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP. Specify the operation ID Operation_A as the argument.
FSServer > EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP Operation_A -mode vss
2. Check that backup was performed correctly.
To check that backup information bearing the date on which the file system had been backed
up from the primary volume to the secondary volume is available, execute the drmfscat command
on the file server.
FSServer > drmfscat E:
INSTANCE: E:
BACKUP-ID:0000000001 BACKUP-MODE: VSS INSTANCE: E: ORIGINAL-ID:0000000001
START-TIME: 2003/08/01 19:00:00 END-TIME: 2003/08/01 19:03:00
