NOTE:
When EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT is executed, one generation of backup information is stored in the
temporary directory for extended commands. Only manage the number of secondary volume
generations for backup information. Also, make sure that each generation is identifiable.
When the backup is of a file system:
Execute EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP, and then carry out the following procedure on the file server:
1. Execute EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT.
Backup information is exported and recorded in the backup information file, which is in the
temporary directory for extended commands.
2.
Back up the files in the temporary directory for extended commands
#
to a location such as
tape.
When the backup is of an SQL Server database:
Execute EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP, and then carry out the following procedure on the database
server:
If the output destination of the SQL Server metafile is configured to be the primary volume where
the primary database of the backup target database is stored, it is not necessary to protect the
SQL Server metafile. This is because the SQL Server metafile is also protected (backed up) during
the backup process.
1. Execute EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT.
Backup information is recorded in a file in the temporary directory for extended commands.
2. Execute EX_DRM_SQLFILE_PACK.
DBMS information (SQL Server metafile) is stored in the temporary directory for extended
commands.
3.
Back up the files in the temporary directory for extended commands
#
to a location such as
tape.
When the backup is of an Exchange database:
Execute EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP, and then carry out the following procedure on the database
server:
1. Execute EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT.
Backup information is recorded in a file in the temporary directory for extended commands.
2.
Back up the files in the temporary directory for extended commands
#
to a location such as
tape.
#
For details on the name of the temporary directory for extended commands on the file server or
database server, see “Checking the temporary directory for extended commands” on page 200.
Protecting backup information for tape backups
DBMS information (SQL Server metafile) is backed up on a tape for tape backups. However, the
backup catalog is not actually backed up on the tape, but is stored on the disk only. Therefore, if the
disk is damaged, restoration from the tape using the catalog cannot be performed This can be
prevented by protecting the backup catalog from the backup server.
In order to protect the backup catalog, backup the dictionary map file directory including the backup
catalog onto a media such as tape.
