Figure 84 Procedure for restoring an SQL Server database to the primary volume
Backing up an SQL Server database to a secondary volume
This section provides an example of performing an online backup of an SQL Server database between
volumes.
To back up the SQL Server database:
1. Resynchronize the copy group.
Execute EX_DRM_RESYNC on the database server to resynchronize the copy groups. If there is
a big difference between the primary volume data and the secondary volume data when data
is backed up from the primary volume to the secondary volume, the backup might take a while.
You can facilitate backup processing by resynchronizing the copy group in advance.
DBServer > EX_DRM_RESYNC Operation_A -cg VG01,vol01 -copy_size 7
2. Back up the SQL Server database onto the secondary volume.
Execute EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP to perform an online backup of the SQL Server database. Specify
the operation ID Operation_A as the argument.
DBServer > EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP Operation_A -system
