4. Execute the drmtapeinit command with the -v option specified, in order to confirm that the
information has been registered correctly.
An example is provided below.
PROMPT> drmtapeinit -v
PROMPT> backup-product-name: NBU
PROMPT> number-of-backup-catalog-storage-days: 10
Notes on specifying the number of backup catalog storage days
• For the drmtapeinit command, the number of days for tape backup catalog storage must
be specified so that the following relationship holds:
The media protection period specified for the tape backup management software is equal to
or greater than the number of backup catalog storage days specified for the drmtapeinit
command.
If the number of backup catalog storage days is longer than the media protection period
specified for the tape backup management software, restoration becomes impossible when
the media protection period expires, even if the backup catalog exists.
• Note that if you specify 0, the backup catalog will be stored infinitely.
• After the storage days of a backup catalog elapse, the backup catalog will be deleted when
one of the following commands is executed:
drmmount, drmtapecat (unless the -o or -delete option is specified)
• When a file that contains the information registered by the drmtapeinit command for
linkage with a tape backup management software becomes unnecessary, or when the file
changes, delete the file.
