3. Export the backup information to temporary files.
To back up from the secondary volume onto tape, you must copy onto the backup server all
information relating to the backup operation from the primary volume to the secondary volume.
To export into temporary files the information relating to the backup operation, execute
EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT. The temporary files are stored in the temporary folder for extended
commands, on the database server.
DBServer > EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT Operation_A
4. Transfer the temporary files to the backup server.
Transfer the temporary files from the database server to the backup server all at once. To transfer
these files, execute the EX_DRM_FTP_PUT command on the database server. In the following
example, the command uses the user ID admin and the password password to log on to the
FTP server. The temporary files are stored in the temporary folder for extended commands, on
the backup server.
DBServer > EX_DRM_FTP_PUT Operation_A -server BKServer -user admin -password password
5. Import the temporary files, which were transmitted from the database server, into the backup
catalog for the backup server.
To import the temporary files, which were transmitted from the database server, into the backup
catalog for the backup server, execute EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT on the backup server.
BKServer > EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT Operation_A
6. Verify the storage group thus backed up.
To verify the consistency of the Exchange database, which was backed up online, onto the
secondary volume, execute the EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY command on the backup server.
BKServer > EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY Operation_A
7. Back up the data on the secondary volume onto tape.
To back up the data, execute the EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP command on the backup server. In
the following example, the command specifies E: as the drive characters of the secondary volume:
BKServer > EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP Operation_A -mount_pt E:
When you execute the backup, information relating to this backup operation is registered in the
backup catalog with the new backup ID 0000000002.
Backup using VSS
An example of using VSS to back up a storage group is described below. Backup operations using
VSS are executed with an Information Store and a disk drive mounted in position. In this example,
the system first backs up the storage group, STORAGE_1 in the database server DBServer into the
secondary volume, and then backs them up from the secondary volume to tape. The Operation ID
used in this example is Operation_A.
To perform a VSS backup, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup server.
To use VSS to back up a storage group:
